What the Data Says About Janene

The Social Security Administration has registered 3,545 babies named Janene between 1929 and 2012, spanning 84 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Janene currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2012. The name reached its historical peak in 1970, when 231 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Janene performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 1,027 births during that ten-year window. Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Janene shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 487 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Pennsylvania. In total, SSA state-level files list Janene in 22 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Janene 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 3,545 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
