Is Orrie a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 988 Americans recorded as Orrie, 32% are girls and 68% boys.
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Orrie: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Orrie, and how old are they?
An estimated 203 Americans named Orrie and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (21% of everyone recorded); the median is 69 years old and half are between 40 and 79. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 397 people named Orrie (100 women and girls, 297 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 263 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.5 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.
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 5 names spelled alike, given to 5,880 babies since 1880, Orrie is the third most given (17% of them). In 2025 none of their 124 babies recorded by SSA was a Orrie (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
