Census
Jomarie in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 1,024 people with the first name Jomarie, which placed it at #12,218 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 Jomarie
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jomarie is White at 57.8%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (26.0%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (10.2%). 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 Jomarie 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 Jomarie at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Jomarie
The given name Jomarie is a relatively modern name that combines the names Joseph and Marie. It does not have deep historical roots, but rather represents a creative fusion of two traditional names from different linguistic backgrounds.
Joseph is a masculine name derived from the Hebrew name Yosef, meaning "he will add" or "he will increase." It has been a popular name among Christians due to its association with St. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus Christ. The name Marie, on the other hand, is a feminine French form of the Latin name Maria, which in turn comes from the Hebrew name Miryam. It is a name closely linked to the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, and has been widely used in the Christian tradition.
The combination of these two names, Jomarie, likely emerged in the late 20th century as a unique and creative way to honor both the masculine and feminine aspects of one's heritage or cultural influences. While there are no known historical figures specifically bearing the name Jomarie, it is possible that individuals with this name have achieved recognition in various fields or local communities.
One notable person who shares a similar name is Jomari Yllana, a Filipino actor and director born in 1983. He has appeared in numerous television shows and films, showcasing his talent in the Philippines' entertainment industry. Another individual with a related name is Jomari Goyso, a Spanish fashion stylist and television personality born in 1974. He has gained recognition for his work in the fashion and beauty industry, particularly in Spanish-language media.
While the name Jomarie may not have a long and storied history, it represents a modern approach to name creation, blending traditional elements from different cultures and languages. Its uniqueness and fusion of masculine and feminine components make it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name that celebrates diversity and individuality.

FAQ
Jomarie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jomarie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 409 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jomarie 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 838,030 US residents.
Is Jomarie a common name?
We classify Jomarie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 82.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 469 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jomarie most popular?
The single biggest year for Jomarie was 1962, when 19 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jomarie is about 45 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Jomarie in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 1,024 people with the name Jomarie, or 0.34 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #12,218 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 Jomarie 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 Jomarie?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Jomarie leans strongly female. 986 people counted with this name were female (95.9%), compared with 42 male bearers (4.1%). 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 Jomarie?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jomarie is White at 57.8%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (26.0%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (10.2%). 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 Jomarie most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Jomarie in the 2020 Census, accounting for 57.8% (592 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 Jomarie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jomarie a female name?
Yes, 98.9% of people registered as Jomarie in the SSA data are female. 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 Jomarie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jomarie 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 Jomarie 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.
