1,010 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 85% of the 1,187 Americans ever recorded as Juanito. The median Juanito alive today is 29 years old; half are between 17 and 48.
The 2020 Census counted 2,518 people named Juanito (24 women and girls, 2,494 men and boys).

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).
