The 2020 Census counted 1,032 people named Laree (1,009 women and girls, 23 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,036 born in the U.S. The Census count matches that prediction to within 1%.

Where Laree is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Laree is most over-represented in Utah: since 1913 it was given 12.1 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 Laree with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
