The Social Security Administration’s records begin in 1880, and Jodie is already there in that first year — so the name is older than the record and these figures cannot date it. It has been recorded in 145 of the 146 years since.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 31,099 American births named Jodie 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 26,708 are estimated to be alive today.
53 American babies were named Jodie in 2025, ranking #5,412 that year.
Jodie is holding steady. Across 2021–2025 it averaged 46 births a year, against 51 a year across 2011–2015 — a change of -9% over the decade.
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 Jodie is mostly a girl’s name — 88.2% of the 31,099 Americans given it were girls and 11.8% were boys. It changed hands: since 1946 it has gone mainly to girls, having gone mainly to boys before that. In births since 2016 it is 86% girls and 14% 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 26,708 Americans named Jodie are alive today — 86% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 53 years old, and half are between 44 and 60.
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.
