Census
Anglina in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 249 people with the first name Anglina, which placed it at #33,298 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.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Anglina
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Anglina is Hispanic at 44.2%. The next largest groups are White (37.3%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (7.6%). 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 Anglina 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 Anglina at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Anglina
The name Anglina is believed to have originated from the ancient Germanic language, with roots tracing back to the 5th century AD. The name is derived from the Old English word "engel," which means "angel" or "messenger." This connection to celestial beings suggests that the name may have been bestowed upon children with the hope of invoking divine protection or guidance.
In early medieval times, the name was primarily confined to regions inhabited by Germanic tribes, such as present-day England, Germany, and the Netherlands. Variations of the spelling, such as "Angelina" and "Angeline," emerged as the name spread across Europe during the Middle Ages.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Anglina can be found in the Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey of England commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. This document lists an individual named Anglina de Bidun, suggesting that the name was in use among the Norman aristocracy.
Throughout history, several notable figures have borne the name Anglina. In the 12th century, Anglina de Courtenay (1109-1192) was a prominent member of the French nobility and the wife of Ralph I, Lord of Issoudun. Another early bearer of the name was Anglina de Beaumont (1170-1233), a English noblewoman and the wife of William de Beaumont, Earl of Warwick.
In the realm of literature, Anglina Grimké (1805-1867) was an American abolitionist and one of the first female advocates for women's rights in the United States. Her writings and speeches played a pivotal role in the anti-slavery movement.
In the world of art, Anglina Huston (1875-1945) was a renowned Canadian painter known for her vibrant landscapes and portraits. Her work was widely exhibited and celebrated during her lifetime.
More recently, Anglina Jolie (born 1975) is a celebrated American actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian. She has won numerous awards, including an Academy Award, and is known for her philanthropic efforts, particularly her advocacy for refugee rights and global health.
While these are just a few examples, the name Anglina has been borne by individuals from various walks of life throughout history, each leaving their unique mark on the world.

FAQ
Anglina: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Anglina?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 39 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Anglina 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 8,788,573 US residents.
Is Anglina a common name?
We classify Anglina as "Very Rare". It ranks above 50.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 47 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Anglina most popular?
The single biggest year for Anglina was 1979, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Anglina is about 45 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Anglina in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 249 people with the name Anglina, or 0.08 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #33,298 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 Anglina 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 Anglina?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Anglina leans strongly female. 247 people counted with this name were female (98.0%), compared with 5 male bearers (2.0%). 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 Anglina?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Anglina is Hispanic at 44.2%. The next largest groups are White (37.3%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (7.6%). 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 Anglina most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Anglina in the 2020 Census, accounting for 44.2% (110 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 Anglina in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Anglina a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Anglina 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 Anglina still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Anglina 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 Anglina 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.
