Census
Arizbeth in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 515 people with the first name Arizbeth, which placed it at #20,162 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 Arizbeth is Hispanic at 96.9%. The next largest groups are White (1.9%) and Two or More Races (0.6%).

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Arizbeth 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 Arizbeth at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Arizbeth
The given name Arizbeth is a unique and intriguing one, with its origins shrouded in mystery and speculation. Many scholars believe that the name's roots can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamia, where it may have been derived from the Sumerian words "ari" and "zbeth," which roughly translate to "noble" and "life," respectively. This would suggest that Arizbeth was originally a name bestowed upon individuals of high social standing or those who had achieved great feats in their lifetime.
Another theory posits that Arizbeth has its origins in the Phoenician language, where it is thought to be a variation of the name "Arizbet," which means "servant of the goddess Ishtar." Ishtar was a revered deity in ancient Mesopotamian cultures, associated with love, beauty, and fertility. It is possible that the name Arizbeth was given to young women who were dedicated to the service of this powerful goddess.
While there are no definitive historical records that confirm the earliest known use of the name Arizbeth, some scholars have speculated that it may have appeared in ancient Sumerian cuneiform tablets or Phoenician inscriptions. However, these claims remain unverified, and the true origins of the name continue to elude scholars.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Arizbeth was Arizbeth of Antioch, a Christian martyr who lived in the 4th century AD. According to historical accounts, she was persecuted for her faith during the reign of the Roman Emperor Diocletian and ultimately executed for refusing to renounce her beliefs.
Another notable figure bearing the name was Arizbeth of Saxony, a 12th-century noblewoman known for her philanthropic work and patronage of the arts. She was instrumental in the construction of several churches and monasteries throughout the region, and her legacy as a benefactor of the arts and education has endured for centuries.
In the 16th century, Arizbeth de Valois, a French princess and member of the House of Valois, gained recognition for her literary talents and her role as a patron of the arts. She was a prolific writer and poet, and her works were widely celebrated during her lifetime.
During the Renaissance period, Arizbeth Sirani, an Italian Baroque painter, made significant contributions to the world of art. Born in 1638 in Bologna, she was renowned for her stunning portraits and religious works, and her talent was widely recognized by her contemporaries.
Finally, in the 19th century, Arizbeth Cady Stanton, an American suffragist and social activist, played a pivotal role in the women's rights movement. She was a leading figure in the fight for women's suffrage and worked tirelessly to promote gender equality and social reform.
While the name Arizbeth may be relatively uncommon in modern times, its rich historical roots and the remarkable individuals who have borne it throughout the centuries serve as a testament to its enduring legacy and significance.

FAQ
Arizbeth: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Arizbeth?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1,302 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Arizbeth 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 263,252 US residents.
Is Arizbeth a common name?
We classify Arizbeth as "Rare". It ranks above 91.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 1,313 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Arizbeth most popular?
The single biggest year for Arizbeth was 2022, when 211 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Arizbeth is about 9 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Arizbeth in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 515 people with the name Arizbeth, or 0.17 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #20,162 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 Arizbeth 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 Arizbeth?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Arizbeth appears almost entirely female. Of the 511 people counted with this name, 99.2% 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 Arizbeth?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Arizbeth is Hispanic at 96.9%. The next largest groups are White (1.9%) and Two or More Races (0.6%). 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 Arizbeth most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Arizbeth in the 2020 Census, accounting for 96.9% (499 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 Arizbeth in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Arizbeth a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Arizbeth 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 Arizbeth still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Arizbeth 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 Arizbeth 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.
