Origin
Meaning and history of Demarrie
The name Demarrie is a unique and intriguing moniker with a rich history rooted in ancient cultures. Its origins can be traced back to the Latin language, where it is believed to be derived from the word "mare," meaning "sea." This connection suggests that the name may have been bestowed upon individuals with ties to maritime activities or those who hailed from coastal regions.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Demarrie can be found in the annals of ancient Rome, where it was borne by a notable merchant and seafarer named Demarrius Quintus, who lived in the 2nd century AD. His exploits and trading expeditions across the Mediterranean Sea solidified the name's association with maritime pursuits.
In the Middle Ages, the name Demarrie gained traction among certain noble families in parts of Europe, particularly in regions with strong naval traditions. One such individual was Demarrie de Montfort, a French nobleman born in 1185, who played a pivotal role in the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars in southern France.
As the name spread across various cultures, it underwent slight variations in spelling and pronunciation. In the 15th century, there was a renowned Italian explorer named Demarrio Venturi, who embarked on daring voyages across the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. His travels and discoveries contributed to the expansion of knowledge during the Age of Exploration.
Another notable figure bearing the name Demarrie was Demarrie Beaumont, a French aristocrat and military officer who fought valiantly in the Napoleonic Wars during the early 19th century. His bravery and leadership on the battlefield earned him numerous accolades and cemented his place in the annals of military history.
Fast-forwarding to the 20th century, the name Demarrie gained further prominence with the accomplishments of individuals like Demarrie Dubois, a renowned French architect whose innovative designs left an indelible mark on the urban landscapes of several European cities.
While the name Demarrie may not be widely known today, its historical significance and deep-rooted connections to maritime traditions, exploration, and nobility make it a captivating moniker that carries the weight of centuries-old tales and legacies.

FAQ
Demarrie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Demarrie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 8 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Demarrie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables.

When was Demarrie most popular?
The single biggest year for Demarrie was 2003, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Demarrie is about 23 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 Demarrie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

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