How many people are named Jasmine, and how old are they?
255,000 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 259,889 Americans ever recorded as Jasmine. The median Jasmine alive today is 28 years old; half are between 21 and 34.
The 2020 Census counted 218,324 people named Jasmine (217,684 women and girls, 640 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 246,953 born in the U.S. The Census count is 12% 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).

Where Jasmine is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Jasmine is most over-represented in Hawaii: since 1910 it was given 1.6 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
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 Jasmine 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 357,081 babies since 1880, Jasmine is the most given (73% of them). In 2025 it was given to 1,481 of their 2,051 babies (72%), again the most given.

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
