Census
Kamrie in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 472 people with the first name Kamrie, which placed it at #21,491 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Kamrie
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Kamrie is White at 64.4%. The next largest groups are Black (16.5%) and Hispanic (9.3%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Kamrie described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Kamrie at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Kamrie
The name Kamrie is believed to have its origins in the ancient Germanic language. It is thought to be derived from the Old Norse word "kamr," which means "comb" or "crest," referring to the crest of a helmet or the crest of a wave. The name may have been given to children born in coastal regions or to those whose families were associated with seafaring or warrior traditions.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Kamrie can be found in the Icelandic Sagas, a collection of stories and historical accounts from the 13th and 14th centuries. In the Saga of Grettir the Strong, there is a character named Kamrie who is described as a fierce and skilled warrior. However, it is uncertain whether this character was based on a real person or was entirely fictional.
In the 16th century, a woman named Kamrie Björnsdóttir was recorded as living in the village of Skógar in southern Iceland. She is mentioned in local records as being a skilled weaver and herbalist, suggesting that the name was not exclusively associated with warriors or seafarers during this time.
Moving forward in history, one of the earliest recorded instances of the name Kamrie in the English-speaking world is Kamrie Winslow, who was born in 1642 in Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Kenelm Winslow, a prominent figure in the early colonial period.
Another notable person with the name Kamrie was Kamrie Blackwood, who lived in the 18th century and was a celebrated poet and playwright in England. Her works were widely acclaimed during her lifetime and influenced many writers of the Romantic period.
In the 19th century, Kamrie Everett was a renowned explorer and naturalist who traveled extensively throughout Africa and the Middle East. She is credited with discovering several new species of plants and animals, and her journals and writings provide valuable insights into the cultures and landscapes she encountered.
During the 20th century, Kamrie Whitaker was a prominent civil rights activist and advocate for women's suffrage in the United States. She was a powerful orator and played a significant role in the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote.
These are just a few examples of individuals throughout history who have borne the name Kamrie. While the name may have originated from ancient Germanic roots, it has been used across various cultures and time periods, often associated with individuals who have made notable contributions to their respective fields or societies.

FAQ
Kamrie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Kamrie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 595 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Kamrie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 576,058 US residents.
Is Kamrie a common name?
We classify Kamrie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 86.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 604 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Kamrie most popular?
The single biggest year for Kamrie was 2016, when 27 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Kamrie is about 19 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Kamrie in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 472 people with the name Kamrie, or 0.16 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #21,491 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Kamrie in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Kamrie?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Kamrie appears almost entirely female. Of the 475 people counted with this name, 99.2% were female and only a very small share were male. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Kamrie?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Kamrie is White at 64.4%. The next largest groups are Black (16.5%) and Hispanic (9.3%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Kamrie most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Kamrie in the 2020 Census, accounting for 64.4% (304 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Kamrie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Kamrie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Kamrie in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Kamrie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Kamrie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Kamrie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
