How many people are named Kamaree, and how old are they?
An estimated 579 Americans named Kamaree and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 15 years old and half are between 8 and 20. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 401 people named Kamaree (166 women and girls, 235 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 474 born in the U.S. The Census count is 15% 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.

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).
