Jadin in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 1,993 people with the first name Jadin, which placed it at #7,597 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.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Jadin
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jadin is White at 46.2%. The next largest groups are Black (22.1%) and Hispanic (17.0%). 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 Jadin 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 Jadin at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Jadin
The name Jadin is a modern English name that has gained popularity in recent years. It is believed to have originated as a variation of the Hebrew name Jaden, which means "God has heard" or "thankful." The name Jaden is a combination of the Hebrew words "Yah" (God) and "dana" (he judged or rewarded).
While the name Jadin does not have a long historical tradition, it may have been influenced by the French name Jade, which is derived from the Spanish name Jade, meaning "stone of the side." The gemstone jade has long been associated with beauty, purity, and wisdom in various cultures.
One of the earliest recorded uses of the name Jadin was in the late 20th century. However, it did not gain significant popularity until the early 21st century. Some notable individuals named Jadin include:
1. Jadin Bell (born 1993), an American football defensive back who played for the University of Colorado.
2. Jadin Martin (born 1995), an American basketball player who played for the University of Southern Mississippi.

FAQ
Jadin: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jadin?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 2,140 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jadin 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 160,166 US residents.
Is Jadin a common name?
We classify Jadin as "Rare". It ranks above 94% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 2,170 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jadin most popular?
The single biggest year for Jadin was 2004, when 200 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jadin is about 21 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Jadin in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 1,993 people with the name Jadin, or 0.66 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #7,597 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 Jadin 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 Jadin?
The 2020 Census sex table shows Jadin on both sides of the split. Of the 1,990 people counted with this name, 1,396 were male (70.2%) and 594 were female (29.8%). 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 Jadin?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jadin is White at 46.2%. The next largest groups are Black (22.1%) and Hispanic (17.0%). 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 Jadin most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Jadin in the 2020 Census, accounting for 46.2% (921 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 Jadin in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jadin a male name?
Yes, 70.4% of people registered as Jadin 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 Jadin still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jadin 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 Jadin 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.
