Census
Addysen in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 962 people with the first name Addysen, which placed it at #12,795 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.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Addysen
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Addysen is White at 80.7%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (7.3%) and Two or More Races (5.5%). 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 Addysen 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 Addysen at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Addysen
The name Addysen is a relatively modern name, with its origins rooted in the late 20th century. It is a variation of the name Addison, which itself is an English surname derived from the Old English personal name "Addy," meaning "son of Addy." The name Addy is a diminutive form of the Germanic name Adam, which ultimately traces its roots back to the Hebrew word "adamah," meaning "earth" or "ground."
While the name Addison has a long history as a surname, its usage as a given name for both boys and girls is a more recent phenomenon, gaining popularity in the late 20th century. The name Addysen, with its unique spelling, is an even more modern variation, likely emerging in the late 1990s or early 2000s as parents sought to create distinctive and fashionable names for their children.
There are no known historical references or famous individuals from ancient times bearing the name Addysen, as it is a relatively new coinage. However, there have been a few notable individuals throughout history with the name Addison, including the English essayist and poet Joseph Addison (1672-1719), who co-founded the influential literary magazine The Spectator.
Another notable Addison was the American statesman and fourth President of the United States, James Addison Gillespie (1825-1901). In the realm of science, the English mathematician and philosopher Alfred Addison (1835-1914) made significant contributions to the field of logic.
In more recent times, the name Addison has gained popularity, particularly for girls, with notable individuals including Addison Timlin (born 1991), an American actress known for her roles in films like "Californication" and "Little Sister." Addison Rae (born 2000) is a popular American social media personality and actress, while Addison Russell (born 1994) is a professional baseball player for the Chicago Cubs.
While the name Addysen may not have a long historical lineage, its unique spelling and melodic sound have contributed to its growing popularity in recent decades, reflecting the trend towards creative and personalized baby names in modern times.

FAQ
Addysen: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Addysen?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1,110 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Addysen 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 308,788 US residents.
Is Addysen a common name?
We classify Addysen as "Rare". It ranks above 90.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 1,121 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Addysen most popular?
The single biggest year for Addysen was 2007, when 125 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Addysen is about 16 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Addysen in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 962 people with the name Addysen, or 0.32 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #12,795 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 Addysen 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 Addysen?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Addysen appears almost entirely female. Of the 961 people counted with this name, 99.5% 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 Addysen?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Addysen is White at 80.7%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (7.3%) and Two or More Races (5.5%). 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 Addysen most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Addysen in the 2020 Census, accounting for 80.7% (776 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 Addysen in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Addysen a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Addysen 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 Addysen still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Addysen 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 Addysen 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.
