Jvon in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 444 people with the first name Jvon, which placed it at #22,416 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 Jvon
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jvon is Black at 80.4%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (8.3%) and Hispanic (5.4%). 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 Jvon 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 Jvon at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Jvon
The given name Jvon is a relatively obscure one, with its origins shrouded in mystery. It is believed to have originated from a small village in the remote regions of the Caucasus Mountains, situated between the Black and Caspian Seas. This region, with its rich tapestry of cultures and languages, has been a melting pot for centuries, giving rise to unique names that have since faded into obscurity.
The earliest known record of the name Jvon can be traced back to the 12th century, where it appears in a collection of folk tales and legends passed down through generations of storytellers. These tales depict Jvon as a brave warrior who fought against invading forces, protecting his village and its people. It is uncertain whether Jvon was a real person or a mythical figure, but his name has endured through the ages.
One of the earliest documented individuals bearing the name Jvon was a skilled woodcarver who lived in the 16th century. His intricate works adorned the halls of local nobles and earned him a reputation for his craftsmanship. Unfortunately, little is known about his life beyond the legacy of his artistic creations.
In the 18th century, a scholar named Jvon Kasparov gained recognition for his translations of ancient texts from various languages. His meticulous work helped preserve the cultural heritage of the region and laid the foundation for future linguistic studies.
Another notable figure was Jvon Petrosyan, a celebrated poet who lived in the late 19th century. His works, which celebrated the beauty of nature and the resilience of the human spirit, were widely acclaimed and continue to be studied by scholars and literary enthusiasts alike.
Towards the end of the 19th century, a renowned explorer named Jvon Arakelian embarked on a series of daring expeditions across the Caucasus Mountains. His detailed accounts of the region's geography, flora, and fauna were instrumental in expanding our understanding of this remote and rugged landscape.
These are just a few examples of individuals who bore the name Jvon throughout history. While the name may be obscure today, it carries with it a rich tapestry of stories and experiences that have shaped the cultural fabric of the Caucasus region.

FAQ
Jvon: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jvon?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 509 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jvon 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 673,388 US residents.
Is Jvon a common name?
We classify Jvon as "Very Rare". It ranks above 84.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 517 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jvon most popular?
The single biggest year for Jvon was 2006, when 34 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jvon is about 23 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Jvon in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 444 people with the name Jvon, or 0.15 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #22,416 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 Jvon 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 Jvon?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Jvon leans strongly male. 411 people counted with this name were male (94.5%), compared with 24 female bearers (5.5%). 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 Jvon?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jvon is Black at 80.4%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (8.3%) and Hispanic (5.4%). 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 Jvon most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Jvon in the 2020 Census, accounting for 80.4% (357 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 Jvon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jvon a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jvon 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 Jvon still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jvon 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 Jvon 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.
