Ranks: girls’ names and boys’ names ranked separately in each year’s SSA file; “under 5” is a year SSA did not list the name for that sex.
Is Jacque a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 7,313 Americans recorded as Jacque, 67% are girls and 33% boys. In 2025 it went to 10 boys; SSA lists no girls with it that year (fewer than 5, or none).
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Jacque: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Jacque, and how old are they?
5,300 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 73% of the 7,313 Americans ever recorded as Jacque. The median Jacque alive today is 61 years old; half are between 45 and 71.
The 2020 Census counted 6,347 people named Jacque (4,818 women and girls, 1,529 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 5,714 born in the U.S. The Census count is 11% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Jacque rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
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).

Where Jacque is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Jacque is most over-represented in Arizona: since 1912 it was given 3.0 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Jacque with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
