Is Yovan a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Yovan has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 18 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Yovan: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Yovan, and how old are they?
An estimated 113 Americans named Yovan and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 22 years old and half are between 18 and 29. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 240 people named Yovan (14 women and girls, 226 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 114 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.1 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Yovan rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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).
