Anadelia in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 451 people with the first name Anadelia, which placed it at #22,181 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 Anadelia
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Anadelia is Hispanic at 97.8%. The next largest groups are White (1.3%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (0.9%). 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 Anadelia 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 Anadelia at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Anadelia
The name Anadelia is a relatively modern invention, believed to have originated in the late 20th century. It does not appear to have any direct linguistic roots or derivations from ancient languages. However, some linguists have speculated that it may be a combination of the Greek prefix "ana" meaning "up" or "again," and the Latin word "delia" meaning "from the island of Delos."
While the name itself does not have a long historical lineage, it is possible that it was inspired by the ancient Greek name Andromeda, which also begins with the prefix "ana." In Greek mythology, Andromeda was the daughter of the Ethiopian king Cepheus and his wife Cassiopeia. Her story is recounted in various ancient texts, including the works of Ovid and Apollodorus.
The earliest recorded use of the name Anadelia appears to be in the late 20th century, but there are no well-known historical figures who bore this name prior to that time. However, here are five individuals who have been notable bearers of the name Anadelia in recent decades:
1. Anadelia A. Lamas (born 1975) - A Puerto Rican actress and model, best known for her roles in television series such as "The Bold and the Beautiful" and "Zorro."
2. Anadelia Regalado (born 1982) - A Mexican-American novelist and poet, whose works explore themes of identity, immigration, and cultural heritage.
3. Anadelia Tomás (born 1988) - A Spanish professional basketball player who has played for various teams in the Liga Femenina de Baloncesto.
4. Anadelia Rodríguez (born 1992) - A Colombian singer and songwriter, known for her participation in the reality TV competition "La Voz Colombia" (The Voice Colombia).
5. Anadelia Gutiérrez (born 1995) - A Mexican actress and model, who has appeared in several telenovelas and television series.
While the name Anadelia may be relatively modern in its origin, it has gained some popularity and recognition in various cultural contexts, particularly in the Spanish-speaking world. However, its true historical roots and significance remain somewhat obscure, as it is a relatively recent addition to the vast tapestry of human names.

FAQ
Anadelia: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Anadelia?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 96 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Anadelia 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 3,570,358 US residents.
Is Anadelia a common name?
We classify Anadelia as "Very Rare". It ranks above 64% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 101 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Anadelia most popular?
The single biggest year for Anadelia was 1990, when 10 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Anadelia is about 30 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Anadelia in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 451 people with the name Anadelia, or 0.15 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #22,181 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 Anadelia 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 Anadelia?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Anadelia leans strongly female. 456 people counted with this name were female (98.9%), compared with 5 male bearers (1.1%). 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 Anadelia?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Anadelia is Hispanic at 97.8%. The next largest groups are White (1.3%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (0.9%). 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 Anadelia most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Anadelia in the 2020 Census, accounting for 97.8% (441 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 Anadelia in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Anadelia a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Anadelia 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 Anadelia still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Anadelia 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 Anadelia 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.
