How many people are named Lonnell, and how old are they?
An estimated 954 Americans named Lonnell and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (86% of everyone recorded); the median is 46 years old and half are between 32 and 57. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 729 people named Lonnell (54 women and girls, 675 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 979 born in the U.S. The Census count is 26% 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).
