Is Jhonathan a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Jhonathan has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 44 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Jhonathan: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Jhonathan, and how old are they?
An estimated 905 Americans named Jhonathan and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 22 years old and half are between 15 and 30. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 1,189 people named Jhonathan (4 women and girls, 1,185 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 829 born in the U.S. The Census count is 43% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.
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 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 Jhonathan with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
