Is Junious a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Junious has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 104 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Junious: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Junious, and how old are they?
An estimated 419 Americans named Junious and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (25% of everyone recorded); the median is 65 years old and half are between 46 and 76. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 447 people named Junious (3 women and girls, 444 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 520 born in the U.S. The Census count is 14% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.
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 Junious is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Junious is most over-represented in Virginia: since 1910 it was given 6.5 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 Junious with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
