How many people are named Jaion, and how old are they?
An estimated 357 Americans named Jaion and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 15 years old and half are between 8 and 19. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 249 people named Jaion (14 women and girls, 235 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 298 born in the U.S. The Census count is 16% below that prediction.
