Adylene in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 261 people with the first name Adylene, which placed it at #32,310 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 Adylene
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Adylene is Hispanic at 93.5%. The next largest groups are White (4.6%) and Two or More Races (1.1%).

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Adylene 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 Adylene at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Adylene
The name Adylene is believed to have originated from the Greek language, with its roots tracing back to ancient times. It is derived from the word "adyllos," which means "slender" or "delicate." The name likely emerged during the Hellenistic period, which spanned from the 4th to 1st centuries BC, when Greek culture and language spread across the Mediterranean region and beyond.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Adylene can be found in ancient Greek literature, specifically in the works of the renowned poet Sappho. Sappho, who lived on the island of Lesbos around 630-570 BC, mentioned a woman named Adylene in one of her poems, praising her beauty and grace.
In the subsequent centuries, the name Adylene appeared sporadically in various historical records and texts. For instance, there are mentions of an Adylene who was a famous courtesan in the city of Corinth during the 5th century BC. Her beauty and charm were widely celebrated by the wealthy and influential men of her time.
During the Byzantine era, which lasted from the 4th to the 15th century AD, the name Adylene gained popularity among the Greek aristocracy. One notable figure bearing this name was Adylene Palaiologina, a noblewoman who lived in the 12th century and was known for her philanthropic efforts and support of the arts.
In the realm of literature, Adylene Rousseau, a French writer and philosopher, made her mark in the 18th century. Born in 1735, she authored several influential works on social and political issues, advocating for women's rights and education.
Another noteworthy individual with the name Adylene was Adylene Patti, an Italian opera singer who lived from 1843 to 1919. She was renowned for her exceptional vocal range and performed in prestigious venues across Europe and the United States, captivating audiences with her remarkable talent.
While the name Adylene has maintained a relatively low profile in recent times, its rich history and origins in ancient Greek culture serve as a testament to its timeless allure and the enduring legacy of names that have stood the test of time.

FAQ
Adylene: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Adylene?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 362 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Adylene 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 946,835 US residents.
Is Adylene a common name?
We classify Adylene as "Very Rare". It ranks above 81.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 367 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Adylene most popular?
The single biggest year for Adylene was 2013, when 21 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Adylene 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 Adylene in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 261 people with the name Adylene, or 0.09 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #32,310 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 Adylene 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 Adylene?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Adylene appears almost entirely female. Of the 264 people counted with this name, 99.6% 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 Adylene?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Adylene is Hispanic at 93.5%. The next largest groups are White (4.6%) and Two or More Races (1.1%). 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 Adylene most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Adylene in the 2020 Census, accounting for 93.5% (244 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 Adylene in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Adylene a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Adylene 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 Adylene still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Adylene 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 Adylene 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.
