Jeni — girls' name

What the Data Says About Jeni

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,856 babies named Jeni between 1936 and 2023, spanning 88 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Jeni currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 1982, when 123 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Jeni performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 823 births during that ten-year window. Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Jeni shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 288 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Utah. In total, SSA state-level files list Jeni in 22 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Jeni 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 2,856 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
