How old is the name Terrika?

Terrika first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1975, which makes it about 50 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 31 of the 51 years since. It was last recorded in 2005.

How many people are named Terrika?

The Social Security Administration has recorded 570 American births named Terrika 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 556 are estimated to be alive today.

How many babies were named Terrika in 2025?

Terrika 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 Terrika a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Across the whole record Terrika is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 570 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 Terrika?

Roughly 556 Americans named Terrika are alive today — 98% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 37 years old, and half are between 32 and 42. That is a narrow band: Terrika 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.
