Jode — unisex name

What the Data Says About Jode

The Social Security Administration has registered 146 babies named Jode between 1956 and 1983, spanning 28 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Jode currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1983. The name reached its historical peak in 1961, when 11 babies received it in a single year. Jode is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 25 additional births since 1957.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Jode performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 57 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Jode shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Jode 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 146 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
