Is Marcille a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Marcille has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 53 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Marcille: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Marcille, and how old are they?
An estimated 178 Americans named Marcille and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (27% of everyone recorded); the median is 75 years old and half are between 68 and 83. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 292 people named Marcille (290 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 231 born in the U.S. The Census count is 26% 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).
