Census
Ayron in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 373 people with the first name Ayron, which placed it at #25,428 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 Ayron
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Ayron is White at 45.8%. The next largest groups are Black (29.5%) and Hispanic (11.8%). 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 Ayron 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 Ayron at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Ayron
The given name Ayron originates from the ancient Sanskrit language, with roots dating back to the Vedic period around 1500-500 BCE. It is believed to have derived from the Sanskrit word "Arya," which means "noble" or "honorable." The name was particularly popular among the Indo-Aryan communities of the Indian subcontinent.
In ancient Hindu texts, such as the Mahabharata and the Puranas, there are references to characters bearing names similar to Ayron, like Arjuna and Aryan. These names were often associated with warriors, kings, and individuals of high social status, reflecting the noble connotations of the word "Arya."
The earliest recorded use of the name Ayron dates back to the 6th century CE, when it appeared in inscriptions and historical records from the Gupta Empire in northern India. During this period, the name was associated with members of the ruling elite and influential families.
One of the most notable historical figures with the name Ayron was Ayron Bakht, a 12th-century Persian scholar and poet who lived in modern-day Afghanistan and Iran. He was renowned for his contributions to literature and his mastery of the Persian language.
Another historical figure worth mentioning is Ayron Veer Singh, a 19th-century Indian freedom fighter and revolutionary who played a significant role in the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule. He was born in 1835 and executed by the British in 1857 for his involvement in the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
In the realm of literature, Ayron Nath Dutt was a prominent Bengali writer and playwright from the 19th century. Born in 1836, he is celebrated for his contributions to Bengali theatre and for popularizing the use of colloquial Bengali in literary works.

FAQ
Ayron: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Ayron?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 325 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Ayron 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 1,054,629 US residents.
Is Ayron a common name?
We classify Ayron as "Very Rare". It ranks above 80.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 331 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Ayron most popular?
The single biggest year for Ayron was 1991, when 16 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Ayron is about 23 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Ayron in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 373 people with the name Ayron, or 0.12 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #25,428 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 Ayron 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 Ayron?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Ayron leans strongly male. 302 people counted with this name were male (83.7%), compared with 59 female bearers (16.3%). 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 Ayron?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Ayron is White at 45.8%. The next largest groups are Black (29.5%) and Hispanic (11.8%). 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 Ayron most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Ayron in the 2020 Census, accounting for 45.8% (171 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 Ayron in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Ayron a male name?
Yes, 98.5% of people registered as Ayron in the SSA data are male. 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 Ayron still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Ayron 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 Ayron 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.
