Dorismar in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 132 people with the first name Dorismar, which placed it at #48,390 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.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Dorismar
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Dorismar is Hispanic at 97.7%. The next largest groups are White (2.3%). 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 Dorismar 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 Dorismar at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Meaning and history of Dorismar
Dorismar is a unique and intriguing name with a rich history that spans multiple cultures and time periods. Its origins can be traced back to the Latin language, where it is believed to be a combination of the words "doris," meaning "gift," and "mar," meaning "sea."
In ancient Roman mythology, the name is closely associated with the Nereids, a group of sea nymphs who were the daughters of the sea god Nereus. These nymphs were often depicted as graceful and beautiful creatures who lived in the depths of the ocean. As such, the name Dorismar may have been used to symbolize the beauty and mystique of the sea.
The earliest recorded usage of the name Dorismar dates back to the 5th century AD, when it was mentioned in a collection of ancient Greek texts. However, its popularity remained relatively obscure until the Middle Ages, when it began to appear more frequently in various European records and historical documents.
One of the earliest notable figures to bear the name Dorismar was a Spanish noblewoman who lived in the 12th century.

Her journals and accounts of her travels provide valuable insights into the history and culture of the region during that time period.
Moving into the 19th century, Dorismar Bates was an American abolitionist and women's rights activist who played a significant role in the anti-slavery movement. She was a prolific writer and speaker, and her works contributed greatly to the cause of equal rights and social justice.
Another notable figure with the name Dorismar was a French composer and pianist who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her compositions were widely acclaimed and performed throughout Europe, and she is considered a pioneer in the development of modern classical music.

FAQ
Dorismar: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Dorismar?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 173 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Dorismar 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 1,981,239 US residents.
Is Dorismar a common name?
We classify Dorismar as "Very Rare". It ranks above 72.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 175 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Dorismar most popular?
The single biggest year for Dorismar was 2006, when 26 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Dorismar is about 19 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Dorismar in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 132 people with the name Dorismar, or 0.04 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #48,390 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 Dorismar 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 Dorismar?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Dorismar leans strongly female. 134 people counted with this name were female (98.5%), compared with 2 male bearers (1.5%). 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 Dorismar?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Dorismar is Hispanic at 97.7%. The next largest groups are White (2.3%). 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 Dorismar most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Dorismar in the 2020 Census, accounting for 97.7% (129 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 Dorismar in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Dorismar a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Dorismar 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 Dorismar still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Dorismar 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 Dorismar 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.
