Gorge over time
How old is the name Gorge?
The Social Security Administration’s records begin in 1880, and Gorge 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 108 of the 146 years since.
How many people are named Gorge?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 2,609 American births named Gorge 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 1,951 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Gorge in 2025?
Gorge 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 Gorge getting more or less popular?
Gorge is out of use. It averaged 7 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 Gorge a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Gorge is a boy’s name — 0.0% of the 2,609 Americans given it were girls and 100.0% were boys. In births since 2016 it is 0% girls and 100% 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 Gorge?
Roughly 1,951 Americans named Gorge are alive today — 75% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 45 years old, and half are between 34 and 56.
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.
