Census
Analis in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 591 people with the first name Analis, which placed it at #18,272 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 Analis
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Analis is Hispanic at 88.5%. The next largest groups are White (6.8%) and Black (2.5%). 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 Analis 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 Analis at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Analis
The name Analis is of Latin origin, derived from the word "analis," which means "relating to the anus." Its roots can be traced back to ancient Rome, where it was initially used as a descriptive term.
Interestingly, the name Analis is not found in any significant historical texts, religious scriptures, or ancient records. This suggests that it was not commonly used as a given name during those times.
The earliest recorded example of Analis as a first name dates back to the 16th century, when it appeared in a few isolated instances in Europe. However, it remained relatively obscure and was not widely adopted.
Throughout history, there are only a handful of notable individuals who bore the name Analis. One such person was Analis Schouten (1615-1667), a Dutch explorer who led an expedition to the South Pacific in the 17th century.
Another person of note was Analis Pfeffer (1873-1942), a German-born American botanist and professor at Stanford University, who made significant contributions to the study of plant taxonomy.
In the 19th century, Analis Delaporte (1812-1879) was a French painter known for her portraits and genre scenes, which captured the essence of everyday life in Paris during that era.
The 20th century saw Analis Nin (1903-1977), a Cuban-American author and diarist, whose works explored themes of feminine sensuality and explored the boundaries of erotic literature.
Lastly, Analis Mustill (1924-2014) was a British architect and urban planner who played a pivotal role in shaping the city of Milton Keynes in England, which was designed as a new town in the 1960s.
While the name Analis has an intriguing linguistic history, it remains relatively uncommon as a given name, possibly due to its association with the anatomical term "anus." Nevertheless, the few individuals who have borne this name have left their mark across various fields, from exploration and academia to art and architecture.

FAQ
Analis: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Analis?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 591 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Analis 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 579,957 US residents.
Is Analis a common name?
We classify Analis as "Very Rare". It ranks above 86.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 599 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Analis most popular?
The single biggest year for Analis was 2009, when 36 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Analis is about 17 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Analis in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 591 people with the name Analis, or 0.20 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #18,272 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 Analis 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 Analis?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Analis appears almost entirely female. Of the 592 people counted with this name, 99.3% were female and only a very small share were male. 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 Analis?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Analis is Hispanic at 88.5%. The next largest groups are White (6.8%) and Black (2.5%). 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 Analis most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Analis in the 2020 Census, accounting for 88.5% (523 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 Analis in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Analis a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Analis 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 Analis still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Analis 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 Analis 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.
