Is Jonnie a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 9,061 Americans recorded as Jonnie, 65% are girls and 35% boys. Girls have outnumbered boys among babies named Jonnie every year since 1920. In 2025 it went to 16 girls; SSA lists no boys with it that year (fewer than 5, or none).
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.

How many people are named Jonnie, and how old are they?
4,370 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 48% of the 9,061 Americans ever recorded as Jonnie. The median Jonnie alive today is 64 years old; half are between 42 and 76.
The 2020 Census counted 4,322 people named Jonnie (3,079 women and girls, 1,243 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 4,962 born in the U.S. The Census count is 13% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.

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).
Where are babies named Jonnie born?
The states with the most babies named Jonnie are Texas, Georgia and Mississippi, with 48% of its births recorded by state since 1910; Mississippi is not among the ten states with the most births.

Where Jonnie is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Jonnie is most over-represented in Mississippi: since 1910 it was given 2.9 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ 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 Jonnie with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 266,324 babies since 1880, Jonnie is the third most given (3.4% of them). In 2025 it was given to 16 of their 288 babies (5.6%), the fourth most given that year.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
