Census
Biatriz in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 159 people with the first name Biatriz, which placed it at #43,953 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.

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Biatriz 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 Biatriz at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Biatriz
The name Biatriz is a feminine given name that originated from the Latin name Beatrix, which is derived from the Late Latin words "Beatus" meaning "blessed" and "Rica" meaning "powerful" or "rich." Its earliest roots can be traced back to the 12th century in parts of Europe, particularly in regions influenced by Latin language and culture.
In the Middle Ages, the name Beatrix gained popularity across various European countries, and it was often associated with noble and aristocratic families. One of the earliest known historical figures with this name was Beatrice of Burgundy, who lived from around 1145 to 1184 and was the Queen consort of Germany and Holy Roman Empress as the wife of Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor.
The name Biatriz is a Spanish and Portuguese variant of Beatrix, which emerged during the medieval period in the Iberian Peninsula. It was commonly used among the nobility and upper classes in these regions.
One of the most notable historical figures with the name Biatriz was Beatriz Galindo, also known as La Latina, who lived from around 1465 to 1534. She was a renowned Spanish scholar, educator, and Renaissance humanist who served as a tutor to the children of the Catholic Monarchs, including the future Queen Isabella of Castile.
Another significant historical figure with this name was Beatriz de Bobadilla, who lived from around 1470 to 1501. She was a Spanish noblewoman and a supporter of Christopher Columbus, providing him with funds and supplies for his voyages to the Americas.
In literature, the name Biatriz appeared in the works of renowned authors, such as Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, where Beatrice is depicted as his muse and guide through Paradise.
Other notable historical figures with the name Biatriz include Beatriz de Portugal, a 15th-century Portuguese Infanta who was the Duchess of Braganza, and Beatriz Galindo, a 16th-century Spanish scholar and educator known for her expertise in Latin and Greek.

FAQ
Biatriz: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Biatriz?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 20 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Biatriz 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 17,137,717 US residents.
Is Biatriz a common name?
We classify Biatriz as "Very Rare". It ranks above 39.9% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 21 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Biatriz most popular?
The single biggest year for Biatriz was 1995, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Biatriz is about 40 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Biatriz in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 159 people with the name Biatriz, or 0.05 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #43,953 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 Biatriz 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 Biatriz?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Biatriz appears almost entirely female. Of the 150 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 Biatriz?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Biatriz is Hispanic at 87.4%. The next largest groups are White (7.5%) and Black (1.9%). 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 Biatriz most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Biatriz in the 2020 Census, accounting for 87.4% (139 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 Biatriz in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Biatriz a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Biatriz 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 Biatriz still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Biatriz 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 Biatriz 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.
