Census
Analese in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 208 people with the first name Analese, which placed it at #37,486 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.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Analese is Hispanic at 44.2%. The next largest groups are White (37.5%) and Black (9.6%). 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 Analese 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 Analese at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Analese
The name Analese is a rare and beautiful variation of the more common name Annalise. Its origins can be traced back to the Germanic language, where it is derived from the combination of the words "ana" meaning grace or favor, and "lise" meaning consecrated to God. This name first emerged during the medieval period in central Europe, particularly in areas with strong Germanic cultural influences.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Analese can be found in a 12th-century German manuscript, where it is mentioned as the name of a noblewoman from the region of Bavaria. Over the centuries, various spellings of the name appeared, such as Annelise, Analiese, and Analisa, reflecting the regional dialects and linguistic evolutions across different parts of Europe.
While the name Analese did not gain widespread popularity throughout history, there are notable figures who bore this name. One of the earliest recorded was Analese von Stein, a 14th-century German abbess who played a significant role in the establishment of a renowned convent in Saxony. Another prominent figure was Analese Müller, a 16th-century German botanist and herbalist, renowned for her contributions to the study of medicinal plants.
In the realm of literature, Analese Hoffmann was a 19th-century German novelist and poet whose works explored themes of love, loss, and the human condition. Her poetic style and vivid imagery earned her recognition among literary circles of the time.
Moving beyond Europe, Analese Nakamura was a 20th-century Japanese artist known for her intricate woodblock prints and her mastery of traditional Japanese art forms. Her works were widely exhibited and celebrated for their beauty and cultural significance.
Lastly, Analese Ribeiro was a Brazilian educator and activist who dedicated her life to promoting literacy and education among underprivileged communities in the Amazon region. Her tireless efforts and innovative teaching methods left a lasting impact on countless lives.

FAQ
Analese: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Analese?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 174 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Analese 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 1,969,853 US residents.
Is Analese a common name?
We classify Analese as "Very Rare". It ranks above 72.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 177 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Analese most popular?
The single biggest year for Analese was 2003, when 17 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Analese is about 21 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Analese in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 208 people with the name Analese, or 0.07 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #37,486 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 Analese 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 Analese?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Analese leans strongly female. 206 people counted with this name were female (98.6%), compared with 3 male bearers (1.4%). 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 Analese?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Analese is Hispanic at 44.2%. The next largest groups are White (37.5%) and Black (9.6%). 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 Analese most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Analese in the 2020 Census, accounting for 44.2% (92 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 Analese in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Analese a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Analese 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 Analese still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Analese 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 Analese 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.
