How many people are named Zachory, and how old are they?
An estimated 706 Americans named Zachory and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (96% of everyone recorded); the median is 32 years old and half are between 27 and 36. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 643 people named Zachory (3 women and girls, 640 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 715 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.

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).
