How old is the name Carri?

Carri first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1953, which makes it about 72 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 52 of the 73 years since. It was last recorded in 2019.

How many people are named Carri?

The Social Security Administration has recorded 3,466 American births named Carri 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 3,234 are estimated to be alive today.

How many babies were named Carri in 2025?

Carri 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 Carri a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Across the whole record Carri is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 3,466 Americans given it were girls and 0.0% were boys. In births since 2016 it is 100% girls and 0% 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 Carri?

Roughly 3,234 Americans named Carri are alive today — 93% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 53 years old, and half are between 47 and 59. That is a narrow band: Carri 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.
