Census
Audriana in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 3,808 people with the first name Audriana, which placed it at #4,764 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.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Audriana
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Audriana is White at 42.4%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (34.8%) and Black (12.1%). 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 Audriana 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 Audriana at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Audriana
The name Audriana has its origins in the Latin language and can be traced back to the Roman era. It is a feminine form of the male name Audrius, which is derived from the Latin word "audire," meaning "to hear" or "to listen." The name is believed to have originated from the ancient Roman practice of giving names based on virtues or characteristics.
In ancient Rome, names were often chosen to reflect the qualities that parents hoped their children would possess. The name Audrius, and its feminine counterpart Audriana, may have been given to children with the intention of bestowing upon them the gift of attentiveness and the ability to listen carefully.
Although the name Audriana does not appear to have been widely used in ancient texts or religious scriptures, it is possible that variations of the name were used among the Roman aristocracy or in certain regions of the Roman Empire.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Audriana can be found in the medieval period. Audriana of Reims (c. 1200 - c. 1270) was a French noblewoman and patron of the arts, known for her patronage of the Reims Cathedral and her support of various religious and cultural institutions.
Another notable figure bearing the name Audriana was Audriana di Firenze (1325 - 1398), an Italian artist and illuminator who is credited with creating some of the most beautiful illuminated manuscripts of the 14th century. Her work was highly regarded in her time and is now preserved in various museums and libraries around the world.
In the 16th century, Audriana Colonna (1500 - 1560) was an Italian noblewoman and writer who is remembered for her poetry and her role in the cultural and intellectual circles of Renaissance Italy.
During the 17th century, Audriana de Lara (1622 - 1685) was a Spanish painter and one of the few women artists of her time to achieve recognition. Her works, which often depicted religious themes, can be found in various churches and museums in Spain and Portugal.
In the 19th century, Audriana Cavendish (1810 - 1886) was an English aristocrat and philanthropist who dedicated her life to various charitable causes, including the establishment of schools and hospitals for the underprivileged.
Throughout its history, the name Audriana has been associated with individuals who have made significant contributions to various fields, including the arts, literature, and philanthropy.

FAQ
Audriana: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Audriana?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5,189 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Audriana 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 66,054 US residents.
Is Audriana a common name?
We classify Audriana as "Rare". It ranks above 96.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5,266 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Audriana most popular?
The single biggest year for Audriana was 2012, when 351 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Audriana 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 Audriana in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 3,808 people with the name Audriana, or 1.26 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #4,764 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 Audriana 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 Audriana?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Audriana appears almost entirely female. Of the 3,809 people counted with this name, 99.8% 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 Audriana?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Audriana is White at 42.4%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (34.8%) and Black (12.1%). 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 Audriana most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Audriana in the 2020 Census, accounting for 42.4% (1,614 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 Audriana in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Audriana a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Audriana 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 Audriana still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Audriana 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 Audriana 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.
