Census
Artasia in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 176 people with the first name Artasia, which placed it at #41,537 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 Artasia
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Artasia is Black at 90.9%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (3.4%) and Hispanic (2.8%). 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 Artasia 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 Artasia at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Artasia
The given name Artasia has its roots in ancient Greece, with the word "Artios" meaning "perfect" or "complete". It is believed to have originated during the classical period, around the 5th century BCE. The name was likely derived from the Greek goddess Artemis, who was the goddess of the hunt, the moon, and childbirth.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Artasia can be found in the writings of the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, who mentioned a woman named Artasia who lived in the city of Ephesus during the 5th century BCE. However, it is unclear whether this was her real name or a pseudonym used by the historian.
In the 4th century BCE, there was a famous Greek poet and playwright named Artasia of Cyrene, who was known for her works on the themes of love and nature. She was born around 350 BCE and is considered one of the earliest known female poets in ancient Greece.
During the Byzantine period, which lasted from the 4th to the 15th century CE, the name Artasia was popular among the nobility and upper classes of the Eastern Roman Empire. One notable figure from this era was Artasia Doukas, a Byzantine noblewoman who lived in the 11th century and was married to the Emperor Alexios I Komnenos.
In the 16th century, there was an Italian painter named Artasia Gentileschi, who was one of the first female artists to gain recognition in the male-dominated art world of the Renaissance. She was born in 1593 and is known for her powerful and dramatic works, particularly her depictions of female subjects.
Another notable figure with the name Artasia was Artasia Browning, an English poet and writer who lived in the 19th century. She was born in 1806 and was part of the influential Browning family, which included her brother Robert Browning, one of the most famous poets of the Victorian era.
While the name Artasia has its origins in ancient Greece, it has been used throughout history in various cultures and regions, often as a symbol of beauty, perfection, and artistic expression.

FAQ
Artasia: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Artasia?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 195 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Artasia 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 1,757,715 US residents.
Is Artasia a common name?
We classify Artasia as "Very Rare". It ranks above 73.9% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 199 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Artasia most popular?
The single biggest year for Artasia was 2005, when 15 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Artasia is about 25 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Artasia in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 176 people with the name Artasia, or 0.06 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #41,537 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 Artasia 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 Artasia?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Artasia leans strongly female. 177 people counted with this name were female (97.8%), compared with 4 male bearers (2.2%). 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 Artasia?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Artasia is Black at 90.9%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (3.4%) and Hispanic (2.8%). 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 Artasia most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Artasia in the 2020 Census, accounting for 90.9% (160 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 Artasia in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Artasia a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Artasia 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 Artasia still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Artasia 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 Artasia 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.
