Is Janiece a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Janiece: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Janiece, and how old are they?
2,620 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 82% of the 3,192 Americans ever recorded as Janiece. The median Janiece alive today is 39 years old; half are between 26 and 63.
The 2020 Census counted 2,412 people named Janiece (2,411 women and girls, 1 man or boy). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,710 born in the U.S. The Census count is 11% 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).

States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ 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 Janiece 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 8 names spelled alike, given to 415,350 babies since 1880, Janiece is the second most given (<1% of them). In 2025 it was given to 10 of their 80 babies (13%), again the second most given.
