What the Data Says About Jule

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,998 babies named Jule between 1886 and 2021, spanning 136 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Jule is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 1,408 additional births since 1881.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Jule performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 359 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Jule shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Pennsylvania, which accounts for 334 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Illinois and New Jersey. In total, SSA state-level files list Jule in 5 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Jule 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 1,998 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
