An estimated 398 Americans named Virgle and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (18% of everyone recorded); the median is 74 years old and half are between 66 and 83. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.

Where Virgle is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Virgle is most over-represented in Arkansas: since 1910 it was given 5.2 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among boys’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Virgle with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
