Census
Beverlyann in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 291 people with the first name Beverlyann, which placed it at #30,113 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.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Beverlyann is White at 67.0%. The next largest groups are Black (14.4%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (11.3%). 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 Beverlyann 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 Beverlyann at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Beverlyann
The given name Beverlyann is a relatively modern combination of two distinct names – Beverly and Ann. The name Beverly is derived from the Old English words "beofor" meaning beaver, and "leah" meaning a clearing or meadow. It originated as a place name referring to a beaver meadow or stream. The name Ann, on the other hand, is a traditional feminine form of the Hebrew name Hannah, which means "grace" or "favor."
The earliest recorded use of the name Beverly can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appeared as a place name in Yorkshire, England. Over time, Beverly evolved from being a place name to a surname, and eventually a given name. The name Ann has been in use since ancient times, with references found in the Bible and other religious texts.
One of the earliest known individuals with the name Beverly was Beverly Bayne, an American silent film actress born in 1889. She starred in numerous films during the early 20th century and was known for her roles in romantic dramas. Another notable Beverly was Beverly Sills, an American opera singer born in 1929, who was renowned for her performances in operas such as "The Barber of Seville" and "Manon."
In literature, the name Beverly is prominently featured in the novel "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger, where one of the main characters is named Beverly Neckers. The name also appears in several works by English novelist Jane Austen, including her famous novel "Pride and Prejudice."
While the name Beverlyann itself is relatively uncommon, there have been a few notable individuals who have borne this name throughout history. One such person was Beverlyann Fullerton, an American actress born in 1938, who appeared in several television shows and films in the 1960s and 1970s. Another was Beverlyann Rowls, an American politician and lawyer born in 1945, who served as a member of the Missouri House of Representatives from 1981 to 1993.
Furthermore, the name Beverlyann has also been used in various literary works, although its appearances are relatively scarce compared to the individual names Beverly and Ann. One example is the character Beverlyann Broadbury in the novel "The Last Resort" by Douglas Rogers, published in 1986.

FAQ
Beverlyann: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Beverlyann?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 53 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Beverlyann 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 6,467,063 US residents.
Is Beverlyann a common name?
We classify Beverlyann as "Very Rare". It ranks above 55.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 140 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Beverlyann most popular?
The single biggest year for Beverlyann was 1943, when 15 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Beverlyann is about 76 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Beverlyann in the 2020 Census?

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 Beverlyann 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 Beverlyann?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Beverlyann leans strongly female. 295 people counted with this name were female (98.3%), compared with 5 male bearers (1.7%). 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 Beverlyann?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Beverlyann is White at 67.0%. The next largest groups are Black (14.4%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (11.3%). 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 Beverlyann most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Beverlyann in the 2020 Census, accounting for 67.0% (195 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 Beverlyann in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Beverlyann a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Beverlyann 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 Beverlyann still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Beverlyann 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 Beverlyann 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.
