Aubreanna in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 308 people with the first name Aubreanna, which placed it at #28,952 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 Aubreanna is White at 43.2%. The next largest groups are Black (21.1%) and Hispanic (21.1%). 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 Aubreanna 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 Aubreanna at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Aubreanna
The name Aubreanna is a relatively modern variant of the French feminine name Aubree or Aubrey, which has its origins in the ancient Germanic language. The name is derived from the Germanic root words "alf" meaning "elf" or "supernatural being" and "berhta" meaning "bright" or "shining". Together, these roots form the meaning "shining elf" or "bright fairy".
Aubrey was a popular name among the Norman French aristocracy and was brought to England after the Norman Conquest in 1066. The name gained popularity in medieval England and France, particularly among the nobility and upper classes. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Aubrey was in the Domesday Book of 1086, which documented landowners in England after the Norman Conquest.
During the Middle Ages, the name Aubrey was associated with several notable figures. One of the most famous bearers of the name was Aubrey de Vere, a powerful Norman nobleman who served as Lord Great Chamberlain of England in the 12th century. Another notable figure was Aubrey de Montdidier, a French knight who fought in the Third Crusade alongside Richard the Lionheart in the late 12th century.
In the 16th century, the name gained popularity among the English gentry and aristocracy. One of the most renowned individuals with the name Aubrey was John Aubrey, an English antiquary, naturalist, and writer who lived from 1626 to 1697. He is best known for his biographical work "Brief Lives", which contained short biographies of many of his contemporaries.
Another notable bearer of the name was Aubrey Beardsley, an English illustrator and author who lived from 1872 to 1898. He was a leading figure in the Aesthetic movement and is renowned for his intricate black and white illustrations, which often depicted decadent and macabre themes.
In the 20th century, the name Aubreanna emerged as a modern variant of Aubrey, likely influenced by the popularity of names ending in "-anna" or "-iana". While not as commonly used as the traditional spelling, Aubreanna has been adopted by some parents as a unique and feminine variation of the name.

FAQ
Aubreanna: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Aubreanna?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 451 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Aubreanna 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 759,987 US residents.
Is Aubreanna a common name?
We classify Aubreanna as "Very Rare". It ranks above 83.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 457 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Aubreanna most popular?
The single biggest year for Aubreanna was 2012, when 32 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Aubreanna 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 Aubreanna in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 308 people with the name Aubreanna, or 0.10 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #28,952 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 Aubreanna 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 Aubreanna?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Aubreanna appears almost entirely female. Of the 311 people counted with this name, 100.0% 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 Aubreanna?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Aubreanna is White at 43.2%. The next largest groups are Black (21.1%) and Hispanic (21.1%). 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 Aubreanna most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Aubreanna in the 2020 Census, accounting for 43.2% (133 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 Aubreanna in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Aubreanna a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Aubreanna 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 Aubreanna still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Aubreanna 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 Aubreanna 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.
