About the name Jeannie
Jeannie belongs to the French tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Jeannie first appears in Social Security records in 1882. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #222 in 1957, and in 2024 22 babies received the name — 36,097 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
