Yuki crossed from boys to girls in 2003, and has stayed there for 6 of the years counted since. At its furthest it was 77% girls, and in 2025 it was 65%.

The girls’ share of each year’s babies of the name, in the 36 years in which at least 25 babies got it. The line touches the middle more often than there are crossings marked: a year or two on the other side is not a name changing hands, and only a move that holds for 5 counted years and reaches 60/40 is recorded as one. All 581 names that changed sex.

How old the living Yukis are

born that year still alive today

Of the 1,634 babies given the name since 1915, about 1,600 are alive — 96 in every hundred. Roughly 700 of them are children and 0 are 65 or over. The dotted line is the median: half were born before 2005 and half after.

An estimate, not a count. SSA births aged forward through SSA cohort life tables, which know nothing about who left the country or arrived in it — so for a name that mostly came to America rather than being born in it, this is a floor rather than a figure. Where you fall among living Americans.

Yuki elsewhere

Counts come from each country's own records and are not comparable with the US figures above, which cover different years and a different definition of a recorded name. Where a country writes the name several ways, the spellings are added together and the most common is shown. A row marked name registrations is counting something else: Portugal ranks each of a child's two given names separately, so a girl registered Maria Leonor is in both the Maria row and the Leonor row, and that figure is not a number of children.

Yuki: births by region

Parts of a country counted above, not extra births. The share is what makes the regions comparable: they differ in size by a factor of three hundred.

Yuki by city

One city over a few years, so these are much smaller numbers than the national ones above and not comparable with them.

Yuki among the living

How many people each country's register counts under the name, rather than how many were given it in any one year. Each register was read on one date, and they are not the same date.

A count of people on a register – Finland on 4 August 2026 – and not of births, so it cannot be compared with the figures above. Names with very few bearers are withheld, and a dash in the first-forename column means the register would not say rather than that nobody goes by it.
