Census
Aubreigh in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 1,066 people with the first name Aubreigh, which placed it at #11,857 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 Aubreigh is White at 70.1%. The next largest groups are Black (12.7%) and Two or More Races (8.5%). 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 Aubreigh 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 Aubreigh at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Aubreigh
The name Aubreigh is a modern variation of the French name Aubrey, which has its origins in the Old Germanic name Alberich or Alberic. The name Alberich is derived from the Germanic elements "alf" meaning "elf" and "ric" meaning "ruler" or "power." This suggests that the name Aubreigh may have originally been used to refer to someone who was considered to have elf-like or otherworldly qualities, or perhaps someone who held a position of power or authority.
The name Aubrey gained popularity in France during the Middle Ages, and it was particularly common among the nobility and upper classes. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Aubrey can be found in the 11th century, when it was used by a Norman nobleman named Aubrey de Vere, who was a prominent figure in the court of William the Conqueror.
Over the centuries, the name Aubrey has been borne by several notable historical figures. One of the most famous was Aubrey de Vere, the 20th Earl of Oxford, who lived from 1627 to 1703 and was a prominent English courtier and patron of the arts. Another notable bearer of the name was Aubrey Beardsley, an influential English illustrator and artist who lived from 1872 to 1898 and was known for his distinctive black-and-white drawings.
The name Aubrey also appears in literary works, such as in the novel "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë, where it is the name of one of the main characters, a young boy named Aubrey Earnshaw. Additionally, the name was used by the English philosopher and writer John Aubrey, who lived from 1626 to 1697 and is best known for his collection of brief biographical sketches known as "Brief Lives."
The modern variation of the name, Aubreigh, is a relatively recent development and is likely an attempt to create a more unique or distinctive spelling of the name Aubrey. While the name Aubreigh is not as historically significant as its parent name Aubrey, it still carries many of the same connotations and associations with power, authority, and a connection to the natural world.

FAQ
Aubreigh: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Aubreigh?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1,492 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Aubreigh 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 229,728 US residents.
Is Aubreigh a common name?
We classify Aubreigh as "Rare". It ranks above 92.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 1,505 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Aubreigh most popular?
The single biggest year for Aubreigh was 2015, when 129 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Aubreigh is about 12 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Aubreigh in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 1,066 people with the name Aubreigh, or 0.35 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #11,857 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 Aubreigh 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 Aubreigh?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Aubreigh appears almost entirely female. Of the 1,060 people counted with this name, 99.6% 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 Aubreigh?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Aubreigh is White at 70.1%. The next largest groups are Black (12.7%) and Two or More Races (8.5%). 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 Aubreigh most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Aubreigh in the 2020 Census, accounting for 70.1% (747 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 Aubreigh in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Aubreigh a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Aubreigh 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 Aubreigh still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Aubreigh 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 Aubreigh 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.
