The earliest recorded use of the name Datavius is relatively recent, with no known examples from before the 20th century. It is possible that the name was created as a modern invention, perhaps inspired by the growing importance of data and technology in the modern world.

FAQ
Datavius: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Datavius?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Datavius 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Datavius a common name?
We classify Datavius as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Datavius most popular?
The single biggest year for Datavius was 2007, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Datavius is about 19 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 Datavius in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Datavius a male name?

Is Datavius still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Datavius 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 Datavius 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.
