Is Jaime a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 121,558 Americans recorded as Jaime, 41% are girls and 59% boys. Boys have outnumbered girls among babies named Jaime every year since 1987. In 2025 it went to 35 girls and 420 boys.

How many people are named Jaime, and how old are they?
113,000 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 93% of the 121,558 Americans ever recorded as Jaime. The median Jaime alive today is 42 years old; half are between 29 and 49.
The 2020 Census counted 158,232 people named Jaime (45,082 women and girls, 113,150 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 112,535 born in the U.S. The Census count is 41% above 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.

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 Jaime is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Jaime is most over-represented in Texas: since 1916 it was given 2.1 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 boys’ 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 Jaime 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 5 names spelled alike, given to 495,251 babies since 1880, Jaime is the second most given (25% of them). In 2025 it was given to 455 of their 1,310 babies (35%), again the second most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
