Michale over time
How old is the name Michale?
Michale first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1922, which makes it about 103 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 82 of the 104 years since.
How many people are named Michale?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 3,618 American births named Michale 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 3,096 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Michale in 2025?
Michale 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 Michale getting more or less popular?
Michale is too rare for a direction to mean much. It averaged 9 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 Michale a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Michale is mostly a boy’s name — 9.5% of the 3,618 Americans given it were girls and 90.5% 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 Michale?
Roughly 3,096 Americans named Michale are alive today — 86% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 50 years old, and half are between 39 and 62.
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.
