Is Lacee a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Lacee has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 53 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Lacee: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Lacee, and how old are they?
2,500 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 2,557 Americans ever recorded as Lacee. The median Lacee alive today is 33 years old; half are between 23 and 39.
The 2020 Census counted 2,134 people named Lacee (2,123 women and girls, 11 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,471 born in the U.S. The Census count is 14% 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.

| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 147 |

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).

Where Lacee is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Lacee is most over-represented in Texas: since 1969 it was given 1.1 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Lacee with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
How common is the spelling Lacee?
Lacee is a less common spelling of Lacey: SSA has recorded 2,557 Lacee and 55,233 Lacey since 1880.
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 106,441 babies since 1880, Lacee is the fifth most given (2.4% of them). In 2025 it was given to 5 of their 552 babies (<1%), the sixth most given that year.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
