Yun — unisex name

What the Data Says About Yun

The Social Security Administration has registered 78 babies named Yun between 1980 and 2016, spanning 37 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Yun currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2016. The name reached its historical peak in 1980, when 9 babies received it in a single year. Yun is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 26 additional births since 1975.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Yun performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 40 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Yun shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Yun 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 78 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
