Joye — girls' name

What the Data Says About Joye

The Social Security Administration has registered 3,467 babies named Joye between 1907 and 2021, spanning 115 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Joye currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2021. The name reached its historical peak in 1932, when 77 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Joye performed strongest in the 1930s, accumulating 628 births during that ten-year window. Across the 13 decades of recorded activity, Joye shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 246 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by South Carolina and Oklahoma. In total, SSA state-level files list Joye in 17 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Joye 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 3,467 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
