What the Data Says About Joda

The Social Security Administration has registered 95 babies named Joda between 1915 and 1981, spanning 67 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Joda currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1981. The name reached its historical peak in 1958, when 9 babies received it in a single year. Joda is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 17 additional births since 1927.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Joda performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 45 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Joda shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Joda 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 95 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
