Origin
Meaning and history of Jonrobert
The given name Jonrobert is a relatively uncommon one, and its origins can be traced back to a combination of two distinct names – Jon and Robert. Jon is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, derived from the name Yohanan, which translates to "Graced by God" or "God is gracious." This name has been popular throughout history, with various spellings such as John, Johannes, and Juan.
Robert, on the other hand, is a French name derived from the Germanic elements "hrod" (meaning "fame" or "bright") and "berht" (meaning "bright"). It gained widespread popularity during the Middle Ages, particularly after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, when it was introduced to the British Isles by Norman settlers.
The combination of these two names, Jonrobert, is relatively rare and does not appear to have any specific historical references or mentions in ancient texts or religious scriptures. However, there have been a few notable individuals throughout history who have borne this unique name.

FAQ
Jonrobert: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jonrobert?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jonrobert going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables.

When was Jonrobert most popular?
The single biggest year for Jonrobert was 1991, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jonrobert is about 34 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 Jonrobert in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Is Jonrobert still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jonrobert 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 Jonrobert 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.
