Is Raheim a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Raheim has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls 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 Raheim: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Raheim, and how old are they?
An estimated 852 Americans named Raheim and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (97% of everyone recorded); the median is 25 years old and half are between 18 and 34. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 601 people named Raheim (6 women and girls, 595 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 802 born in the U.S. The Census count is 25% 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.
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).
