How many people are named Tariah, and how old are they?
An estimated 757 Americans named Tariah and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 14 years old and half are between 9 and 20. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.

SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 645 born in the U.S. The Census count is 26% below that prediction.
