Census
Jaslynn in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 1,502 people with the first name Jaslynn, which placed it at #9,302 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Jaslynn
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jaslynn is Hispanic at 38.4%. The next largest groups are Black (25.4%) and White (19.4%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Jaslynn described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Jaslynn at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Jaslynn
The name Jaslynn is a relatively modern name that combines elements from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds. It is believed to be a fusion of the Hebrew name Jasmine, meaning "gift from God," and the English name Lynn, derived from the Celtic word "linn," meaning "lake" or "waterfall."
Jasmine has its roots in the Persian word "yasamin," which refers to the jasmine flower. The name gained popularity in the West after being introduced through Arabic and Hebrew influences. Lynn, on the other hand, was a common name among the Anglo-Saxons and was often used as a surname before becoming a given name in its own right.
While the name Jaslynn does not have a long historical lineage, it has gained traction in recent decades as a unique and melodic combination of these two distinct name elements. The earliest recorded instances of the name Jaslynn can be traced back to the late 20th century, though its exact origin remains uncertain.
Throughout history, there have been a few notable individuals who have borne variations of the name Jaslynn. One such figure is Jaslyn Bourne, an Australian actress born in 1988, known for her roles in television series like "Packed to the Rafters" and "The Saddle Club."
Another individual worth mentioning is Jaslyn Vinícius, a Brazilian footballer born in 1995, who currently plays as a forward for Atlético Mineiro.
Additionally, there is Jaslyn Coffy, an American track and field athlete born in 1993, who specialized in the long jump and triple jump events.
While not bearing the exact name Jaslynn, there have been several notable individuals named Jasmine throughout history. One such figure is Jasmine Guy, an American actress and dancer born in 1962, best known for her role as Whitley Gilbert on the sitcom "A Different World."
Another noteworthy Jasmine is Jasmine Tookes, an American model born in 1991, who has walked the runway for Victoria's Secret and has been featured in various fashion magazines.

FAQ
Jaslynn: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jaslynn?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 2,229 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jaslynn going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 153,770 US residents.
Is Jaslynn a common name?
We classify Jaslynn as "Rare". It ranks above 94.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 2,258 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jaslynn most popular?
The single biggest year for Jaslynn was 2010, when 145 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jaslynn is about 16 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Jaslynn in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 1,502 people with the name Jaslynn, or 0.50 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #9,302 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Jaslynn in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Jaslynn?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Jaslynn appears almost entirely female. Of the 1,504 people counted with this name, 99.8% were female and only a very small share were male. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Jaslynn?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jaslynn is Hispanic at 38.4%. The next largest groups are Black (25.4%) and White (19.4%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Jaslynn most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Jaslynn in the 2020 Census, accounting for 38.4% (577 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Jaslynn in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jaslynn a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jaslynn in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Jaslynn still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jaslynn in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Jaslynn can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
