Recorded 1915–2017 · United States
Jammie was most popular in 1976, when 365 American babies were given the name — ranking #900 that year. It was not recorded in 2025. Across 1880–2025 the Social Security Administration has recorded 6,486 people named Jammie.
Jammie first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1915, which makes it about 110 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 100 of the 111 years since. It was last recorded in 2017.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 6,486 American births named Jammie between 1880 and 2025. That is recorded US births, not a world population — it counts people issued a Social Security number at birth in the United States. Of those, roughly 5,796 are estimated to be alive today.
Jammie was not recorded in 2025. The SSA withholds any name given to fewer than five babies in a year, so fewer than five American babies were given it.
Jammie is out of use. It averaged 11 births a year a decade ago and has not been recorded in the last five years.
Measured on recorded births. American births overall have fallen since 2007, so most established names lose births over any recent decade — a name can shed births and still hold its rank. Compare the rank above, which is measured against the other names of the same year.
Across the whole record Jammie is a unisex name — 62.4% of the 6,486 Americans given it were girls and 37.6% were boys. It changed hands: since 2002 it has gone mainly to girls, having gone mainly to boys before that. In births since 2016 it is 0% girls and 100% boys.
Counted from every US birth the Social Security Administration recorded under this name, so it reflects use rather than opinion. A name given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year is withheld at source and is not counted.
Roughly 5,796 Americans named Jammie are alive today — 89% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 48 years old, and half are between 41 and 54.
An estimate, not a count. Recorded births are carried forward through the Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, by age and sex. That table describes mortality in one recent year, so it credits the oldest cohorts with today’s survival rather than the harsher rates they actually lived through — the further back a name peaked, the more this will overstate how many remain. It counts people issued a Social Security number at birth, not immigrants who arrived later.
How much more common the name is in each state than across the country as a whole.
