Is Marise a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Marise has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 37 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Marise: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Marise, and how old are they?
An estimated 126 Americans named Marise and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (44% of everyone recorded); the median is 72 years old and half are between 67 and 78. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 741 people named Marise (717 women and girls, 24 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 154 born in the U.S. The Census count is 4.8 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Marise rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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).
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 173,147 babies since 1880, Marise is the eighth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 none of their 148 babies recorded by SSA was a Marise (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
