Is Jakhi a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Jakhi has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 26 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Jakhi: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Jakhi, and how old are they?
1,140 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 1,153 Americans ever recorded as Jakhi. The median Jakhi alive today is 12 years old; half are between 7 and 16.
The 2020 Census counted 632 people named Jakhi (22 women and girls, 610 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 895 born in the U.S. The Census count is 29% 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 Jakhi is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Jakhi is most over-represented in Florida: since 2000 it was given 1.7 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 Jakhi with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
How common is the spelling Jakhi?
Jakhi is a less common spelling of Jacky: SSA has recorded 1,153 Jakhi and 7,787 Jacky since 1880.
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 145,264 babies since 1880, Jakhi is the fourth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 it was given to 41 of their 1,460 babies (2.8%), again the fourth 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.
