1,300 girls have been named Genny in the United States since 1925, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 1971, with 47 births.
The name has all but left use: none recorded in 2024, against 47 at the peak.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1971, and the 1970s alone account for 21%.

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.
