Census
Aubryana in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 239 people with the first name Aubryana, which placed it at #34,236 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 Aubryana
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Aubryana is White at 37.7%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (32.6%) and Black (18.0%). 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 Aubryana 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 Aubryana at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Aubryana
The given name Aubryana is a feminine name of French origin. It is a variant spelling of the name Aubrianna, which is derived from the Old French name Aubrée. The name Aubrée is believed to have originated as a feminine form of the masculine name Aubry, which comes from the Germanic name Alberic or Aldric.
The name Alberic or Aldric is composed of two elements: the Germanic root "ald" meaning "old" and "ric" meaning "power" or "ruler." Together, these elements suggest a meaning of "old ruler" or "wise ruler." The name Aubrée, and its variants like Aubryana, carry this symbolic meaning of wisdom and authority.
One of the earliest recorded uses of the name Aubryana can be found in the medieval French epic poem "La Chanson de Roland" from the 11th century. In this work, the name is mentioned as a variant spelling of the name Aubrianna, which was the name of a character described as a wise and noble lady.
Throughout history, several notable figures have borne the name Aubryana or its variants. One example is Aubryana de Montfort (1192-1241), a French noblewoman who played a significant role in the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathar heretics in southern France.
Another notable figure is Aubryana de Laval (1330-1390), a French courtier and patron of the arts during the reign of King Charles V. She was known for her patronage of artists and her influence in the cultural life of the French court.
In the 16th century, Aubryana de Rieux (1502-1568) was a French noblewoman and philanthropist who established several hospitals and charitable institutions in the region of Brittany.
In more recent history, Aubryana Hogan (1889-1967) was an American artist and painter known for her landscape paintings depicting scenes from the American Southwest.
Lastly, Aubryana Maldonado (1920-2008) was a Mexican writer and poet who was recognized for her contributions to the literary movement known as the "Contemporary Mexican Poetry Movement."

FAQ
Aubryana: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Aubryana?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 308 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Aubryana 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 1,112,839 US residents.
Is Aubryana a common name?
We classify Aubryana as "Very Rare". It ranks above 79.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 311 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Aubryana most popular?
The single biggest year for Aubryana was 2011, when 31 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Aubryana is about 15 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Aubryana in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 239 people with the name Aubryana, or 0.08 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #34,236 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 Aubryana 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 Aubryana?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Aubryana appears almost entirely female. Of the 238 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 Aubryana?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Aubryana is White at 37.7%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (32.6%) and Black (18.0%). 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 Aubryana most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Aubryana in the 2020 Census, accounting for 37.7% (90 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 Aubryana in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Aubryana a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Aubryana 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 Aubryana still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Aubryana 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 Aubryana 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.
