How many people are named Leandrew, and how old are they?
An estimated 700 Americans named Leandrew and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (69% of everyone recorded); the median is 43 years old and half are between 28 and 62. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 538 people named Leandrew (6 women and girls, 532 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 747 born in the U.S. The Census count is 28% 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).
