Jennie is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Jennie is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 girls have been named Jennie. In the SmartGenius ranking, Jennie is #2,562 on the list of most common girls names. In the entire USA, approximately 90,726 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Jennie. That is 0.03 % of all living Americans.
Appearing throughout the time in the United States, the name Jennie is a staple in the country: Girls have been given the name Jennie for more than 140 years, according to official U.S. naming statistics. Jennie is therefore one of the 432 girls’ names that have been given every year since 1880. Even beyond that, Jennie is a very special name that peaked in popularity over 100 years ago in the 19th century, ranking in the top 100 girls' names in our SmartGenius first name statistics: With #23 Jennie has never been more popular than back in 1880.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jennie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As many as 68 babies were named Jennie in the USA in 2022, ranking it #2,302 on the list of the most popular girls' names for that year. However, it experienced its lowest point of popularity in 2018, when it was only ranked #3,077 of all female names in our SmartGenius statistics – back then only 45 girls were named Jennie.
The name Jennie may not be in the top rankings of the most popular girls’ names, but it is one of the few female given names, along with only 536 others, that can be found in every single state in the U.S. from Alaska to Florida and from California to New York. Of course, the name occurs more frequently in some states than in others – and Jennie is apparently especially popular in New Mexico. Although the name is not one of the top 100 most popular women’s names here either, one in 637 women in New Mexico is called Jennie. In total, that’s 1,241 women who feel addressed when the name Jennie is shouted loudly across New Mexico and who ensure that their name makes it to #180 in our SmartGenius ranking of the most common female names in this nice state. If you asked all women in the entire U.S. for their first name, you would hear Jennie as the answer a total of 90,726 times. This places Jennie at #360 in our SmartGenius statistics for the most popular women’s names in the whole of the USA. This is true for all currently living women across all states and age groups – the recent popularity of the name Jennie as a baby name is, of course, a bit different, as you can see from the statistics above.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter J is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names. That’s because 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A, S and M.
With six letters, the name Jennie is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
This means that with 6.8% of all girls' names that begin with the letter J, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. And Jennifer is the girls' name starting with J, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Jennie and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
