Census
Alexiz in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 433 people with the first name Alexiz, which placed it at #22,843 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.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Alexiz
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Alexiz is Hispanic at 80.6%. The next largest groups are White (10.6%) and Black (5.1%). 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 Alexiz 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 Alexiz at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Alexiz
The name Alexiz is a unique and relatively unknown given name with an unclear origin. There are no definitive records or sources that pinpoint its linguistic roots or cultural background. However, some speculations can be made based on its similarity to other names and words.
The name Alexiz bears a resemblance to the more common name Alexander, which has Greek origins. Alexander is derived from the Greek words "Alexo" meaning "to defend" and "Andros" meaning "man". It's possible that Alexiz is a variation or derivative of Alexander, perhaps originating from a particular region or culture where the name underwent a transformation in spelling or pronunciation.
Another potential connection could be made to the name Alexis, which is a Greek name meaning "helper" or "defender". The suffix "-iz" may have been added to this root name, resulting in the variant Alexiz. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this theory.
Unfortunately, there are no known ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records that specifically mention the name Alexiz. This lack of documentation makes it challenging to trace its origins or provide a comprehensive historical account.
Despite its obscurity, there have been a few notable individuals throughout history who bore the name Alexiz. One of the earliest recorded instances is Alexiz Bellanger (1568-1635), a French physician and botanist who made significant contributions to the study of medicinal plants. Another figure is Alexiz Dubois (1697-1762), a French painter known for his landscapes and portraiture during the Baroque period.
In more recent times, Alexiz Trujillo (1892-1971) was a prominent Venezuelan politician and diplomat who served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the 1940s. Alexiz Montes (1914-1998) was a Spanish-born American author and academic, renowned for her work on Hispanic literature and culture.
Lastly, Alexiz Kovalenko (1923-2005) was a Soviet and Ukrainian physicist who made notable contributions to the field of semiconductor physics and the development of solar cells.
While the name Alexiz may not have a rich and well-documented history, the few individuals who carried this unique name have left their mark in various fields, from science and art to literature and politics.

FAQ
Alexiz: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Alexiz?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 505 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Alexiz 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 678,721 US residents.
Is Alexiz a common name?
We classify Alexiz as "Very Rare". It ranks above 84.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 514 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Alexiz most popular?
The single biggest year for Alexiz was 2004, when 38 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Alexiz is about 23 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Alexiz in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 433 people with the name Alexiz, or 0.14 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #22,843 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 Alexiz 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 Alexiz?
The 2020 Census sex table shows Alexiz on both sides of the split. Of the 426 people counted with this name, 197 were male (46.2%) and 229 were female (53.8%). 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 Alexiz?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Alexiz is Hispanic at 80.6%. The next largest groups are White (10.6%) and Black (5.1%). 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 Alexiz most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Alexiz in the 2020 Census, accounting for 80.6% (349 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 Alexiz in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Alexiz a female name?
Yes, 51.6% of people registered as Alexiz 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 Alexiz still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Alexiz 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 Alexiz 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.
