Is Jaida a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Jaida has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 48 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Jaida: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Jaida, and how old are they?
9,560 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 9,659 Americans ever recorded as Jaida. The median Jaida alive today is 18 years old; half are between 14 and 23.
The 2020 Census counted 7,624 people named Jaida (7,593 women and girls, 31 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 9,090 born in the U.S. The Census count is 16% 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.

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 Jaida is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Jaida is most over-represented in Georgia: since 1977 it was given 1.6 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 Jaida with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 223,061 babies since 1880, Jaida is the fourth most given (4.3% of them). In 2025 it was given to 47 of their 3,349 babies (1.4%), the fifth most given that year.

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
