How many people are named Latesha?

Across the whole record Latesha is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 3,110 Americans given it were girls and 0.0% were 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 Latesha?
Roughly 3,008 Americans named Latesha are alive today — 97% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 43 years old, and half are between 36 and 48. That is a narrow band: Latesha 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.
