Is Yoni a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Yoni: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Yoni, and how old are they?
An estimated 801 Americans named Yoni and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 20 years old and half are between 13 and 28. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 1,909 people named Yoni (159 women and girls, 1,750 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 709 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.7 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.
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 Yoni is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Yoni is most over-represented in California: since 1972 it was given 1.1 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 Yoni 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 5 names spelled alike, given to 3,845 babies since 1880, Yoni is the fourth most given (21% of them). In 2025 it was given to 24 of their 131 babies (18%), again the fourth most given.
