What the Data Says About Jann

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,138 babies named Jann between 1932 and 1991, spanning 60 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Jann is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 143 additional births since 1948.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Jann performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 1,080 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Jann shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 200 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Michigan and Pennsylvania. In total, SSA state-level files list Jann in 21 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Jann 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 2,138 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
