How many people are named Burnice?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 2,926 American births named Burnice 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 609 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Burnice in 2025?
Burnice 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 Burnice a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Burnice is a unisex name — 54.4% of the 2,926 Americans given it were girls and 45.6% were boys. It changed hands: since 1954 it has gone mainly to boys, having gone mainly to girls before that.
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 Burnice?
Roughly 609 Americans named Burnice are alive today — 21% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 77 years old, and half are between 69 and 85.
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.
