Census
Audrianna in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 3,611 people with the first name Audrianna, which placed it at #4,929 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 Audrianna
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Audrianna is White at 45.6%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (26.5%) and Black (16.2%). 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 Audrianna 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 Audrianna at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Audrianna
The name Audrianna is a feminine given name derived from the Old English name Ætheldrȳtha, which was composed of the elements "æthel" meaning "noble" and "drȳthe" meaning "strength." This name was borne by several Anglo-Saxon princesses and saints, including St. Audrey or Ætheldrȳtha (circa 630-679), the daughter of King Anna of East Anglia and the founder of the monastery of Ely.
The name Audrianna evolved from the Old English Ætheldrȳtha to the Old French form Audree, and later to the English Audrey. The modern spelling of Audrianna is a variant of Audrey, with the addition of the suffix "-anna" which is a common feminine ending in names of Greek and Latin origin.
One of the earliest recorded examples of the name Audrianna was in the 12th century, when it was used by the English writer and philosopher Audrianna of Bath (circa 1135-1201), who was known for her work on the natural sciences and philosophy. Another notable bearer of the name was Audrianna de Valois (1348-1416), a French noblewoman and the daughter of King John II of France.
In the 16th century, Audrianna Petyt (1520-1586) was an English translator and writer who is best known for her translations of works by the Italian humanist Baldassare Castiglione. During the same period, Audrianna de Lara (1532-1598) was a Spanish poet and playwright who was renowned for her contributions to the Golden Age of Spanish literature.
In the 19th century, Audrianna Bronte (1820-1849) was an English novelist and poet, best known for her novel "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall." She was the sister of the famous writers Charlotte and Emily Bronte.
These are just a few examples of notable individuals throughout history who bore the name Audrianna or its earlier variations. The name has a rich cultural and linguistic heritage, tracing its roots back to the Anglo-Saxon period and evolving over time to its modern form.

FAQ
Audrianna: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Audrianna?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 4,771 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Audrianna 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 71,841 US residents.
Is Audrianna a common name?
We classify Audrianna as "Rare". It ranks above 96.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 4,854 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Audrianna most popular?
The single biggest year for Audrianna was 2011, when 276 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Audrianna is about 19 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Audrianna in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 3,611 people with the name Audrianna, or 1.20 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #4,929 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 Audrianna 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 Audrianna?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Audrianna appears almost entirely female. Of the 3,614 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 Audrianna?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Audrianna is White at 45.6%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (26.5%) and Black (16.2%). 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 Audrianna most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Audrianna in the 2020 Census, accounting for 45.6% (1,645 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 Audrianna in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Audrianna a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Audrianna 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 Audrianna still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Audrianna 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 Audrianna 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.
