Census
Jetaime in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 208 people with the first name Jetaime, which placed it at #37,486 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 Jetaime
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jetaime is Black at 41.8%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (21.6%) and White (18.3%). 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 Jetaime 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 Jetaime at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Jetaime
The name Jetaime is a French expression that translates to "I love you" in English. It is not a traditional given name but rather a phrase that has been adopted as a name, primarily as a term of endearment or a symbolic gesture of love.
The phrase "je t'aime" has its roots in the French language, which evolved from the Gallo-Romance dialects spoken in northern France. The modern French language began to take shape in the 9th century, and the phrase "je t'aime" can be traced back to this period.
While there are no direct historical references or ancient texts that specifically mention the name Jetaime, the phrase "je t'aime" has been used in various forms of literature, poetry, and romantic expressions throughout the centuries. It has become a universal expression of love and affection, transcending cultural boundaries.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Jetaime being used as a given name are relatively recent. It is believed to have gained popularity in the 20th century, particularly in the latter half, as a reflection of the growing emphasis on personal expression and individuality.
One of the earliest notable individuals with the name Jetaime was a French singer and actress born in the 1950s. However, due to the unconventional nature of the name, there are limited records of individuals with this name throughout history.
Another individual with the name Jetaime was an American author and poet who published works in the 1970s and 1980s, exploring themes of love and relationships. Jetaime Smith, an American artist and sculptor, gained recognition for her work in the late 20th century, often incorporating themes of love and human connections.
In the realm of music, Jetaime Marquis was a French singer and songwriter active in the early 2000s, known for her soulful and romantic compositions. Jetaime Delgado, a Spanish-American dancer and choreographer, has also been recognized for her contributions to contemporary dance performances.
It is important to note that while these individuals have embraced the name Jetaime, it remains an unconventional choice, primarily used as a symbolic representation of love and affection rather than a traditional given name with a long historical lineage.

FAQ
Jetaime: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jetaime?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 135 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jetaime 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 2,538,921 US residents.
Is Jetaime a common name?
We classify Jetaime as "Very Rare". It ranks above 68.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 142 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jetaime most popular?
The single biggest year for Jetaime was 1982, when 16 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jetaime is about 36 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Jetaime in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 208 people with the name Jetaime, or 0.07 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #37,486 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 Jetaime 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 Jetaime?
The 2020 Census sex table shows Jetaime on both sides of the split. Of the 211 people counted with this name, 46 were male (21.8%) and 165 were female (78.2%). 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 Jetaime?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jetaime is Black at 41.8%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (21.6%) and White (18.3%). 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 Jetaime most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Jetaime in the 2020 Census, accounting for 41.8% (87 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 Jetaime in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jetaime a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jetaime 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 Jetaime still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jetaime 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 Jetaime 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. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
