Well let's see...about 1-in-110 people have an Autism Spectrum Disorder and about one third of these (e.g 1-in-250 to 300ish) have Asperger's. That would put the US Aspie population in the 1 to 1.2 Million range.

Hans Asperger first wrote a paper about some characteristics of aspergers in 1943 (he did some research on a group of boys in the 1930's). Back then and up to the 1960s Asperger's was known as autisic psychopathy. A woman curious aobut the studies of Han's Asperger encouraged the name to be after the founder. Hans Asperger's information or rather data on Aspergers was not translated into English and brought to US till around 1994 or so.
