Yon — boys' name

What the Data Says About Yon

The Social Security Administration has registered 87 babies named Yon between 1960 and 2004, spanning 45 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Yon currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2004. The name reached its historical peak in 1971, when 11 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Yon performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 41 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Yon shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Yon 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 87 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
