Census
Jeancarlo in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 1,032 people with the first name Jeancarlo, which placed it at #12,168 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.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jeancarlo is Hispanic at 92.7%. The next largest groups are White (4.7%) and Black (1.6%). 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 Jeancarlo 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 Jeancarlo at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Jeancarlo
The given name Jeancarlo is a combination of two distinct names – Jean and Carlo. The name Jean originated from the French variation of the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning "Yahweh is gracious." This French name gained popularity after the 12th century and was widely used across Europe. On the other hand, Carlo is the Italian derivative of the German name Karl, which stems from the Old Norse name Karli, meaning "free man."
The blend of Jean and Carlo can be traced back to the late Renaissance period, particularly in Italy, where the cultural exchange between France and Italy was prominent. This unique combination emerged as a means to honor both French and Italian heritage, reflecting the cross-cultural influences of the time.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Jeancarlo is found in the 16th-century historical records of the Italian city of Florence. During this period, a notable figure named Jeancarlo Medici, born in 1542, was a prominent merchant and patron of the arts, known for his contributions to the city's cultural renaissance.
In the 17th century, Jeancarlo Borghese, born in 1605, was a notable Italian diplomat and art collector. His extensive collection of sculptures and paintings, including works by renowned artists such as Caravaggio and Bernini, is now housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome.
The 18th century witnessed the rise of Jeancarlo Vivaldi, born in 1711, a renowned Italian composer and violinist. He was a contemporary of Antonio Vivaldi and is best known for his influential compositions for the violin and his contribution to the development of the Baroque concerto grosso form.
In the 19th century, Jeancarlo Rossetti, born in 1825, was an Italian painter and sculptor, known for his works that blended elements of Romanticism and Realism. His most famous works include the sculpture "The Veiled Lady" and the painting "The Dreamers."
Another notable figure from the 19th century was Jeancarlo Verdi, born in 1847, an Italian architect and engineer. He was responsible for the design and construction of several iconic buildings in Milan, including the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the oldest shopping malls in the world.
These historical figures, spanning various fields and time periods, exemplify the rich cultural heritage associated with the name Jeancarlo, a unique blend of French and Italian influences that has endured through the centuries.

FAQ
Jeancarlo: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jeancarlo?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 931 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jeancarlo 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 368,157 US residents.
Is Jeancarlo a common name?
We classify Jeancarlo as "Very Rare". It ranks above 89.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 943 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jeancarlo most popular?
The single biggest year for Jeancarlo was 2010, when 80 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jeancarlo is about 19 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Jeancarlo in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 1,032 people with the name Jeancarlo, or 0.34 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #12,168 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 Jeancarlo 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 Jeancarlo?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Jeancarlo appears almost entirely male. Of the 1,032 people counted with this name, 99.7% were male and only a very small share were female. 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 Jeancarlo?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jeancarlo is Hispanic at 92.7%. The next largest groups are White (4.7%) and Black (1.6%). 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 Jeancarlo most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Jeancarlo in the 2020 Census, accounting for 92.7% (957 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 Jeancarlo in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jeancarlo a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jeancarlo in the SSA data are male. 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 Jeancarlo still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jeancarlo 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 Jeancarlo 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.
