Clemmie over time
How old is the name Clemmie?
The Social Security Administration’s records begin in 1880, and Clemmie is already there in that first year — so the name is older than the record and these figures cannot date it. It has been recorded in 103 of the 146 years since.
How many people are named Clemmie?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 3,609 American births named Clemmie 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 832 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Clemmie in 2025?
Clemmie 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 Clemmie getting more or less popular?
Clemmie is new. It was not recorded at all a decade ago and averaged 6 births a year across 2021–2025.
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 Clemmie a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Clemmie is a unisex name — 73.1% of the 3,609 Americans given it were girls and 26.9% were boys. It changed hands: since 1959 it has gone mainly to boys, having gone mainly to girls before that. 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 Clemmie?
Roughly 832 Americans named Clemmie are alive today — 23% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 75 years old, and half are between 66 and 82.
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.
