The name Amilliyon is a unique and intriguing moniker with a rich history that spans across cultures and civilizations. Its origins can be traced back to the ancient Sumerian civilization, which flourished in Mesopotamia around 3500 BCE. Derived from the Sumerian words "ami" meaning "life" and "liyon" signifying "eternal," Amilliyon was believed to encapsulate the notion of everlasting existence.
This name gained prominence during the reign of the legendary King Gilgamesh, whose exploits were chronicled in the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the oldest surviving literary works. According to these ancient texts, Amilliyon was a revered sage and advisor to the king, renowned for his profound wisdom and deep understanding of the mysteries of the universe.
In the subsequent centuries, the name Amilliyon found its way into various religious and philosophical traditions.

During the classical era, a notable figure bearing this name was Amilliyon of Croton, a Greek philosopher, and mathematician from the 5th century BCE.

Another prominent figure was Amilliyon the Bard, a Welsh poet, and storyteller from the 12th century CE. His poetic works, which celebrated the heroic deeds of ancient Welsh kings and warriors, played a crucial role in preserving the rich cultural heritage of Wales.

FAQ
Amilliyon: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Amilliyon?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 11 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Amilliyon going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables.

When was Amilliyon most popular?
The single biggest year for Amilliyon was 2019, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Amilliyon is about 13 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 Amilliyon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Amilliyon a male name?

Is Amilliyon still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Amilliyon 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 Amilliyon 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.
