Jillian by the numbers
In 2025, 3 babies in England and Wales were named Jillian. In the US, 523 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 3,055 babies in 1982, so it is a 1980s name that has since fallen a long way.
