How old is the name Karalee?

Karalee first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1941, which makes it about 84 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 81 of the 85 years since.

How many people are named Karalee?

The Social Security Administration has recorded 1,219 American births named Karalee 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 1,126 are estimated to be alive today.

How many babies were named Karalee in 2025?

Karalee 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 Karalee getting more or less popular?

Karalee is too rare for a direction to mean much. It averaged 6 births a year across 2021–2025 against 10 a year a decade earlier — at these counts a single baby moves the percentage, and any year under five births is withheld at source.

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 Karalee a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Across the whole record Karalee is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 1,219 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 Karalee?

Roughly 1,126 Americans named Karalee are alive today — 92% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 44 years old, and half are between 29 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.
