Meaning and history of Johnalbert
The given name Johnalbert is a relatively modern name that appears to be a combination of the English names John and Albert. John is a masculine name derived from the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning "Graced by God" or "Yahweh is gracious." This name has been popular in English-speaking countries for centuries and has biblical roots, being the name of several important figures in the New Testament.

The combination of these two names, Johnalbert, is a relatively recent creation and does not appear to have a specific cultural or linguistic origin. It is likely that this name emerged in English-speaking countries as a unique blend of two traditional names.

Is Johnalbert still being used today?

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 Johnalbert 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.
