Default Should I be using IF to find how many times a word occurs in a ran

Hi

I have an area B3:AF78 and I need to know how many times the word "Ruth"
appears within this range. Each cell only contains one name. I will need
this formula for a number of names within the range. I tried this formula
but it didnt work and I think I may be using the wrong formula completely.
Can anyone help at all.

=IF(B3:AF78="Ruth",1,0)

Many thanks
Ruth
