Jaunita was most popular in 1924, when 285 American babies were given the name — ranking #751 that year. It was not recorded in 2025. Across 1880–2025 the Social Security Administration has recorded 6,893 people named Jaunita.
Jaunita first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1894, which makes it about 131 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 94 of the 132 years since. It was last recorded in 1991.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 6,893 American births named Jaunita 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 1,708 are estimated to be alive today.
Jaunita 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.
Across the whole record Jaunita is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 6,893 Americans given it were girls and 0.0% were 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 1,708 Americans named Jaunita are alive today — 25% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 76 years old, and half are between 64 and 85.
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.
