Ranks and shares: boys’ names in each year’s SSA file; share of all boys SSA recorded that year.
Is Jun a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 1,608 Americans recorded as Jun, 10% are girls and 90% boys.
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Jun: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Jun, and how old are they?
1,500 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 93% of the 1,608 Americans ever recorded as Jun. The median Jun alive today is 23 years old; half are between 11 and 35.
The 2020 Census counted 12,305 people named Jun (3,482 women and girls, 8,823 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,273 born in the U.S. The Census count is 9.7 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Jun rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.

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 Jun born?
| State | Births 2025 | Rank, boys | vs. national |

Where Jun is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Jun is most over-represented in California: since 1918 it was given 1.7 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 boys’ 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 Jun 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 2 names spelled alike, given to 369,974 babies since 1880, Jun is the second most given (<1% of them). In 2025 it was given to 46 of their 2,364 babies (1.9%), again the second most given.
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.
Names that rose and fell in the same decades as Jun
Names whose births rose and fell across the same decades, measured on each decade’s share of births.
