How many people are named Jovann, and how old are they?
An estimated 117 Americans named Jovann and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 23 years old and half are between 14 and 31. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 194 people named Jovann (43 women and girls, 151 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 113 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.7 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Jovann rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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).
