How many people are named Nikoletta, and how old are they?
An estimated 191 Americans named Nikoletta and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 13 years old and half are between 8 and 19. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 351 people named Nikoletta (348 women and girls, 3 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 155 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.3 times 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.
