Is Lamir a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Lamir: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Lamir, and how old are they?
An estimated 503 Americans named Lamir and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 8 years old and half are between 4 and 15. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 251 people named Lamir (14 women and girls, 237 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 301 born in the U.S. The Census count is 17% 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).
