Is Venise a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Venise has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 50 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Venise: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Venise, and how old are they?
An estimated 419 Americans named Venise and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (90% of everyone recorded); the median is 54 years old and half are between 39 and 65. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 662 people named Venise (659 women and girls, 3 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 433 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.5 times 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.
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).
