Rease is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 67 additional births since 2002.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Rease performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 38 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Rease shows notable generational variation in parental adoption.

No etymological entry is currently available for Rease in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 80 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
