How many people are named Ramell, and how old are they?
An estimated 416 Americans named Ramell and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (97% of everyone recorded); the median is 26 years old and half are between 15 and 38. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 301 people named Ramell (34 women and girls, 267 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 381 born in the U.S. The Census count is 21% below that prediction.
