Is Jahki a boy’s or a girl’s name?

How many people are named Jahki, and how old are they?
An estimated 456 Americans named Jahki and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 14 years old and half are between 7 and 19. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 288 people named Jahki (10 women and girls, 278 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 360 born in the U.S. The Census count is 20% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.
