Origin
Meaning and history of Almarion
The name Almarion has its origins in the ancient Aramaic language, which was spoken throughout the Middle East during the first millennium BCE. The name is believed to be derived from the Aramaic words "alm," meaning "eternal," and "ari," meaning "lion." Thus, the name Almarion can be interpreted as "eternal lion" or "lion of eternity."
Aramaic was the lingua franca of the ancient Near East and was widely used in various empires, including the Persian and Seleucid empires. While no definitive historical references to the name Almarion have been found in ancient texts or scriptures, the name's etymology suggests it may have been used by Aramaic-speaking communities in the region.
The earliest recorded use of the name Almarion dates back to the 5th century CE, when it appeared in a collection of Aramaic inscriptions found in the city of Palmyra, located in modern-day Syria.

FAQ
Almarion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Almarion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 13 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Almarion 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 26,365,718 US residents.
Is Almarion a common name?
We classify Almarion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 33.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 13 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Almarion most popular?
The single biggest year for Almarion was 2004, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Almarion is about 22 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
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 Almarion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Almarion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Almarion in the SSA data are male. 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 Almarion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Almarion 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 Almarion 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. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
