Census
Aundrea in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 3,967 people with the first name Aundrea, which placed it at #4,627 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 Aundrea
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Aundrea is White at 40.2%. The next largest groups are Black (33.3%) and Hispanic (18.6%). 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 Aundrea 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 Aundrea at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Aundrea
Aundrea is a feminine given name with its origins rooted in ancient Greek culture and language. It is derived from the Greek word "andros," which means "man" or "warrior." This name was likely bestowed upon individuals who embodied strength, courage, and resilience.
During the classical era of Greek civilization, the name Aundrea, or variations of it, such as Andromache or Andromeda, were often mentioned in epic poems and mythological tales. These stories celebrated heroic figures and their remarkable feats, further solidifying the name's association with bravery and valor.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Aundrea can be traced back to the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician, Aundrea of Cyzicus, who lived in the 5th century BCE. She was renowned for her contributions to the field of mathematics and her expertise in solving complex geometrical problems.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Aundrea. In the 4th century CE, Aundrea of Perge was a prominent scholar and teacher in the city of Perge, located in modern-day Turkey. Her teachings and writings on philosophy and rhetoric greatly influenced the intellectual discourse of her time.
During the Renaissance period, Aundrea Navagero (1483-1529), an Italian diplomat and poet, gained recognition for his literary works and his role as an ambassador for the Republic of Venice. His poetic compositions often celebrated the beauty of nature and the human experience.
In the 19th century, Aundrea Boucicault (1848-1911), an Irish-American actress and playwright, made significant contributions to the world of theater. She is particularly renowned for her successful adaptation of the novel "The Octoroon" for the stage, which tackled complex themes of race and identity.
Another notable figure was Aundrea Dworkin (1946-2005), an American radical feminist and writer. Her influential works, such as "Intercourse" and "Pornography: Men Possessing Women," sparked intense debates and discussions surrounding feminism, sexuality, and gender equality.
These are just a few examples of the individuals who have carried the name Aundrea throughout history, each leaving an indelible mark in their respective fields and contributing to the rich tapestry of human civilization.

FAQ
Aundrea: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Aundrea?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 4,623 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Aundrea 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 74,141 US residents.
Is Aundrea a common name?
We classify Aundrea 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, 4,937 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Aundrea most popular?
The single biggest year for Aundrea was 2006, when 189 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Aundrea is about 35 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Aundrea in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 3,967 people with the name Aundrea, or 1.31 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #4,627 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 Aundrea 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 Aundrea?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Aundrea leans strongly female. 3,830 people counted with this name were female (96.6%), compared with 135 male bearers (3.4%). 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 Aundrea?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Aundrea is White at 40.2%. The next largest groups are Black (33.3%) and Hispanic (18.6%). 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 Aundrea most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Aundrea in the 2020 Census, accounting for 40.2% (1,594 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 Aundrea in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Aundrea a female name?
Yes, 96.3% of people registered as Aundrea 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 Aundrea still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Aundrea 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 Aundrea 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.
