Jolyn is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Jolyn in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Jolyn in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Jolyn by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Jolyn ranks at #9,534. That means there are 9,533 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Jolyn.
If your name is Jolyn your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Jolyn never ranked higher than position 1,525 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Jolyn. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1952 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Jolyn because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Jolyn was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Jolyn still proves to be very exceptional. In 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be more precise, it was given at most four times, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Jolyn who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Jolyn are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %.

In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Jolyn live in Utah, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 19,466 would turn around if you called the name Jolyn across Utah.
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 five letters, the name Jolyn is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. 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 Jolyn 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...
