Is Joannie a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Joannie: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Joannie, and how old are they?
1,400 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 88% of the 1,586 Americans ever recorded as Joannie. The median Joannie alive today is 52 years old; half are between 41 and 66.
The 2020 Census counted 1,703 people named Joannie (1,677 women and girls, 26 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,425 born in the U.S. The Census count is 20% 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.

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).
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 344,777 babies since 1880, Joannie is the fifth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 none of their 1,150 babies recorded by SSA was a Joannie (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
