Is Ivone a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Ivone has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 44 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Ivone: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Ivone, and how old are they?
An estimated 395 Americans named Ivone and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (94% of everyone recorded); the median is 35 years old and half are between 28 and 50. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 1,280 people named Ivone (1,256 women and girls, 24 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 401 born in the U.S. The Census count is 3.2 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 15,178 babies since 1880, Ivone is the third most given (2.8% of them). In 2025 none of their 258 babies recorded by SSA was a Ivone (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
