Origin
Meaning and history of Jevoni
The given name Jevoni is a relatively modern invention, likely originating in the late 20th century. It does not appear to have direct roots in any specific language or culture.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Jevoni can be found in the United States Social Security Administration's baby name records from the 1970s. It first appeared as an uncommon name choice for newborn boys during this period. The name's popularity gradually increased over the subsequent decades, though it has never ranked among the top 1,000 most popular names in the United States.
While the name Jevoni does not seem to have any direct historical or literary references, there have been a few notable individuals who have borne this name throughout modern history.

FAQ
Jevoni: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jevoni?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jevoni 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Jevoni a common name?
We classify Jevoni as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jevoni most popular?
The single biggest year for Jevoni was 2020, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jevoni is about 6 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
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 Jevoni in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jevoni a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jevoni 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 Jevoni still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jevoni 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 Jevoni 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.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
