Census
Adamariz in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 164 people with the first name Adamariz, which placed it at #43,191 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

The next largest groups are White (3.0%) and American Indian/Alaska Native (1.2%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Adamariz described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Adamariz at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Adamariz
The name Adamariz has its origins in the ancient Berber language of North Africa, with roots that can be traced back to the 5th century AD. The name is derived from the Proto-Berber word "adm??riz," which means "son of the mountain." This suggests that the name may have initially been a descriptive title or surname given to individuals born or residing in mountainous regions.
In the early centuries after its conception, the name Adamariz was primarily used by the Berber tribes of the Atlas Mountains in what is now modern-day Morocco and Algeria. As the Islamic conquests of North Africa began in the 7th century, the name gradually spread to other parts of the region, though it remained predominantly associated with Berber culture and traditions.
One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name Adamariz can be found in the writings of the 9th-century Arab historian and geographer, al-Bakri, who documented the customs and genealogies of various Berber tribes. However, there are no known references to individuals specifically bearing the name Adamariz in his works.
The first notable person known to have carried the name Adamariz was a 12th-century Berber scholar and poet from the city of Fez, Morocco. His full name was Adamariz ibn al-Qasim, and he is remembered for his contributions to the study of Islamic jurisprudence and his celebrated works of poetry.
Another significant figure in history with the name Adamariz was a 14th-century Berber military leader and strategist from the Zayyanid dynasty of Tlemcen, Algeria. Adamariz al-Zayani played a crucial role in the defense of his kingdom against the encroaching Marinid forces from Morocco, and his tactical prowess was widely renowned among his contemporaries.
In the 16th century, an Adamariz ibn Yusuf al-Hawwari was a prominent Berber scholar and traveler from the city of Marrakesh, Morocco. His writings on geography, astronomy, and Islamic philosophy were highly influential in the intellectual circles of the time.
Centuries later, in the 19th century, an Adamariz al-Qadrawi was a celebrated Berber poet and calligrapher from the city of Algiers, Algeria. His works were widely appreciated for their intricate imagery and mastery of the Arabic language.
While the name Adamariz has Berber origins, it has also been adopted by other cultures and ethnicities over time, particularly in North Africa and parts of the Middle East. However, its historical significance and cultural associations remain firmly rooted in the rich Berber heritage of the region.

FAQ
Adamariz: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Adamariz?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 219 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Adamariz going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 1,565,088 US residents.
Is Adamariz a common name?
We classify Adamariz as "Very Rare". It ranks above 75.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 222 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Adamariz most popular?
The single biggest year for Adamariz was 2006, when 26 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Adamariz is about 19 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Adamariz in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 164 people with the name Adamariz, or 0.05 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #43,191 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Adamariz in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Adamariz?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Adamariz appears almost entirely female. Of the 160 people counted with this name, 100.0% were female and only a very small share were male. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Adamariz?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Adamariz is Hispanic at 95.7%. The next largest groups are White (3.0%) and American Indian/Alaska Native (1.2%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Adamariz most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Adamariz in the 2020 Census, accounting for 95.7% (157 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Adamariz in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Adamariz a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Adamariz in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Adamariz still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Adamariz in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Adamariz can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
