How many people are named Kamani, and how old are they?
1,930 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 1,950 Americans ever recorded as Kamani. The median Kamani alive today is 12 years old; half are between 5 and 19.
The 2020 Census counted 1,174 people named Kamani (673 women and girls, 501 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,350 born in the U.S. The Census count is 13% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.
Alive today, by age
Alive today, by generation
| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 61 |
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 836 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 1,030 |
An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).
