How many people are named Sherrelle, and how old are they?
An estimated 228 Americans named Sherrelle and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (96% of everyone recorded); the median is 39 years old and half are between 36 and 42. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 271 people named Sherrelle (269 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 231 born in the U.S. The Census count is 17% 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.
