How old is the name Ashlei?

Ashlei first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1971, which makes it about 54 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 42 of the 55 years since. It was last recorded in 2014.

How many people are named Ashlei?

The Social Security Administration has recorded 2,044 American births named Ashlei between 1880 and 2025. That is recorded US births, not a world population — it counts people issued a Social Security number at birth in the United States. Of those, roughly 2,002 are estimated to be alive today.

How many babies were named Ashlei in 2025?

Ashlei was not recorded in 2025. The SSA withholds any name given to fewer than five babies in a year, so fewer than five American babies were given it.

Is Ashlei getting more or less popular?

Ashlei is out of use. It averaged 10 births a year a decade ago and has not been recorded in the last five years.

Measured on recorded births. American births overall have fallen since 2007, so most established names lose births over any recent decade — a name can shed births and still hold its rank. Compare the rank above, which is measured against the other names of the same year.

Is Ashlei a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Across the whole record Ashlei is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 2,044 Americans given it were girls and 0.0% were boys.

Counted from every US birth the Social Security Administration recorded under this name, so it reflects use rather than opinion. A name given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year is withheld at source and is not counted.

How old is someone named Ashlei?

Roughly 2,002 Americans named Ashlei are alive today — 98% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 35 years old, and half are between 28 and 40. That is a narrow band: Ashlei arrived and faded within about a decade rather than staying in steady use.

An estimate, not a count. Recorded births are carried forward through the Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, by age and sex. That table describes mortality in one recent year, so it credits the oldest cohorts with today’s survival rather than the harsher rates they actually lived through — the further back a name peaked, the more this will overstate how many remain. It counts people issued a Social Security number at birth, not immigrants who arrived later.
