The story in the numbers

2,907 girls have been named Joie in the United States since 1915, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 2019, with 85 births.

This is a comeback. After an early peak the name fell to a fraction of its former share, and it has been climbing again for the past decade.

Half of everyone given the name was born by 1999, and the 2000s alone account for 20%.

It is overwhelmingly a girl’s name: 242 boys have also been given it, 7.7% of the total.

Other spellings in the data

What this page does not tell you. The Social Security data records how many babies were given a name, not what the name means or where it comes from — so neither do we. Counts cover people with a Social Security number; names given to fewer than five babies in a year are withheld. More on the data.
