Is Sarabeth a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Sarabeth has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 66 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Sarabeth: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Sarabeth, and how old are they?
1,260 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 97% of the 1,300 Americans ever recorded as Sarabeth. The median Sarabeth alive today is 30 years old; half are between 19 and 42.
The 2020 Census counted 1,433 people named Sarabeth (1,431 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,214 born in the U.S. The Census count is 18% above 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.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
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).
