How many people are named Junie, and how old are they?
1,170 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 57% of the 2,052 Americans ever recorded as Junie. The median Junie alive today is 8 years old; half are between 3 and 62.
The 2020 Census counted 1,442 people named Junie (1,238 women and girls, 204 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 743 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.9 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.

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).
Names spelled alike
Of these 7 names spelled alike, given to 216,496 babies since 1880, Junie is the third most given (<1% of them). In 2025 it was given to 152 of their 2,666 babies (5.7%), again the third 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.
