Is Jeane a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Jeane has been given almost only to girls: 16 boys in 112 years of records.
Girls and boys named Jeane: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Jeane, and how old are they?
1,550 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 35% of the 4,504 Americans ever recorded as Jeane. The median Jeane alive today is 69 years old; half are between 54 and 79.
The 2020 Census counted 2,568 people named Jeane (2,509 women and girls, 59 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,933 born in the U.S. The Census count is 33% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Jeane rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.

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 Jeane with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
How common is the spelling Jeane?
Jeane is a less common spelling of Jeanne: SSA has recorded 4,504 Jeane and 163,609 Jeanne since 1880.
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 614,465 babies since 1880, Jeane is the eighth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 none of their 715 babies recorded by SSA was a Jeane (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
