How many people are named Jaydan, and how old are they?
3,790 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 3,828 Americans ever recorded as Jaydan. The median Jaydan alive today is 17 years old; half are between 12 and 20.
The 2020 Census counted 3,046 people named Jaydan (523 women and girls, 2,523 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 3,478 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.
Alive today, by age

| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 19 |

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 Jaydan is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Jaydan is most over-represented in Florida: since 1992 it was given 1.1 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 boys’ 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 Jaydan 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 447,057 babies since 1880, Jaydan is the eighth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 it was given to 37 of their 6,294 babies (<1%), the seventh most given that year.
