Origin
Meaning and history of Cebron
The name Cebron has its origins in ancient Semitic languages, with roots that can be traced back to the Phoenician and Aramaic cultures of the Middle East during the first millennium BC. The name is thought to be derived from the Phoenician word "kebren," which means "mighty" or "powerful," indicating a connection to strength and leadership.
In its earliest recorded instances, the name Cebron appeared in various ancient texts and inscriptions from the region, often associated with individuals of prominence or authority. One notable reference can be found in the Phoenician inscriptions of Byblos, where a ruler named Cebron is mentioned as a prominent figure in the city's history.
As the centuries passed, the name Cebron continued to be used across different cultures and regions, albeit with slight variations in spelling and pronunciation. In the Byzantine Empire, for instance, the name took on the form "Kebron," and was borne by several notable figures, including a 6th-century historian and author.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Cebron was a Phoenician merchant and explorer who lived around the 8th century BC. While little is known about his specific exploits, his name has been found inscribed on various artifacts and trade records from the period, suggesting his involvement in the thriving maritime trade networks of the ancient Mediterranean.
Another notable figure was Cebron of Pergamon, a Greek physician and scholar who lived in the 2nd century BC. He is credited with writing several influential works on medicine and natural philosophy, many of which were widely studied and referenced throughout the ancient world.
In the early medieval period, a Frankish nobleman named Cebron played a significant role in the court of Charlemagne, serving as a trusted advisor and military leader during the 9th century AD. His loyalty and bravery earned him a place in the historical records of the Carolingian Empire.
During the Renaissance, the name Cebron was borne by an Italian painter and architect, Cebron da Montelupo, who was active in the 15th century. His works can still be found adorning various churches and palaces throughout Italy, showcasing his skill and artistic vision.
In the 17th century, a French explorer and navigator named Cebron de la Cloche embarked on several voyages to the Americas, contributing to the expansion of French colonial interests in the New World.

FAQ
Cebron: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Cebron?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Cebron 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 342,754,338 US residents.
Is Cebron a common name?
We classify Cebron as "Very Rare". It ranks above 3.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 6 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Cebron most popular?
The single biggest year for Cebron was 1932, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Cebron is about 72 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
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 Cebron in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Cebron a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Cebron 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 Cebron still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Cebron 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 Cebron 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.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
