Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Jannie shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in South Carolina, which accounts for 3,089 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Georgia and Alabama. In total, SSA state-level files list Jannie in 23 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Jannie 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 14,819 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
