Is Laurisa a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Laurisa: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Laurisa, and how old are they?
An estimated 298 Americans named Laurisa and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (96% of everyone recorded); the median is 38 years old and half are between 32 and 47. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 333 people named Laurisa (333 women and girls, 0 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 11% 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.
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).
