What the Data Says About Janean

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,567 babies named Janean between 1934 and 2011, spanning 78 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Janean performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 392 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Janean shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 102 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Michigan and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Janean in 11 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Janean in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 1,567 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
