Default Count Names

I have an excel spreadsheet with Columns like:
Column C Column D Column E
Award1 Award2 Award3
Row 1 Brenda Joe Shana
Row 2 Misty Joe Monty
Row 3 Brenda Misty Monty
Row 4 Brenda Misty Janice
Row 5 Frederique Joe Monty

Is there any way to count the number of each name in a colum?

E.G.

C1:C5 Brenda counts as 3, Misty counts as 1, Frederique counts as 1
C1-C5 Joe counts as 3, Misty counts as 2
D1-D5 Shana counts as 1, Monty counts as 3 and Janice counts as 1

Default Count Names

To count each name just use:

=COUNTIF(C:C,"Brenda")

C:C is for the entire column so you can also enter a range like:

=COUNTIF(C2:C6,"Misty")

and, if you wanted to count all of them at once, you can do

=COUNTIF(C:E,"Brenda")
