Roughly 361 people in United States bear this name (about 1 in 921K). Estimates project the name's share of our records onto national population, so each is only as good as the record base beside it — the Basis column gives that base; rows marked △ rest on fewer records than the estimate itself and are order-of-magnitude at best.
Country figures for a list of names, at full precision, are available under licence rather than by scraping this table. How that works.

Frequently asked questions
- How common is the name Yu-Ma?
- We estimate roughly 520 people bear Yu-Ma (counting its spellings and scripts) across 8 countries in our records.
- In which country does Yu-Ma have the most bearers?
- We estimate about 361 people bear Yu-Ma in the United States, more than in any other country in our records.
- Is Yu-Ma a male or female name?
- Yu-Ma is recorded for both men and women. We don't publish a percentage split: a record's gender belongs to the person and is attached to every given name on that record, so names in cultures where a name string also carries a parent's or spouse's given name pick up large cross-gender counts.

About this data
Data snapshot . Figures are rebuilt periodically and will change.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
