Is Kolette a boy’s or a girl’s name?

How many people are named Kolette, and how old are they?
An estimated 369 Americans named Kolette and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (95% of everyone recorded); the median is 16 years old and half are between 8 and 56. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 362 people named Kolette (362 women and girls, 0 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 302 born in the U.S. The Census count is 20% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.
