Census
Elizabethann in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 684 people with the first name Elizabethann, which placed it at #16,475 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 next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (6.1%) and Two or More Races (5.8%). 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 Elizabethann 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 Elizabethann at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Elizabethann
The given name Elizabethann is a combination of two separate names, Elizabeth and Ann. Elizabeth is a Hebrew name derived from the biblical name Elisheva, meaning "God is my oath" or "consecrated to God." The name Elizabeth has its roots in the Old Testament, where it was borne by the mother of John the Baptist.
The earliest recorded use of the name Elizabeth dates back to the 13th century. One of the most famous bearers of the name was Elizabeth I, the Queen of England from 1558 to 1603. Her reign, known as the Elizabethan era, was a golden age for England, marked by the flourishing of the arts and the establishment of the Church of England.
Ann, on the other hand, is a variant of the Hebrew name Hannah, which means "grace" or "favor." The name has been popular in various forms, such as Anne, Anna, and Ann, across different cultures and religions.
In the Bible, Hannah was the mother of the prophet Samuel, and her story is told in the first book of Samuel. The name Ann has been borne by several notable figures throughout history, including Ann Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII of England, who played a pivotal role in the English Reformation.
Other famous bearers of the name Elizabethann or its variations include:
1. Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821), the first American-born Catholic saint, who founded the Sisters of Charity and was canonized in 1975.
2. Elizabeth Ann Bayley Sewall (1786-1866), an American author and educator who wrote extensively on children's literature and education.
3. Elizabeth Ann Blaisdell (1811-1887), an American educator and author who published several textbooks and educational works.
4. Elizabeth Ann Everest (1833-1895), an English explorer and travel writer who documented her journeys to various parts of the world.
5. Elizabeth Ann Thornton (1865-1938), an American painter and illustrator known for her portraits and floral paintings.
While the name Elizabethann is not as common as its separate components, it carries the rich history and cultural significance of both Elizabeth and Ann, combining the meanings of "God is my oath" and "grace" into a unique and meaningful name.

FAQ
Elizabethann: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Elizabethann?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 454 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Elizabethann 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 754,966 US residents.
Is Elizabethann a common name?
We classify Elizabethann as "Very Rare". It ranks above 83.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 509 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Elizabethann most popular?
The single biggest year for Elizabethann was 1983, when 16 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Elizabethann is about 38 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Elizabethann in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 684 people with the name Elizabethann, or 0.23 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #16,475 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 Elizabethann 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 Elizabethann?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Elizabethann appears almost entirely female. Of the 676 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 Elizabethann?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Elizabethann is White at 78.9%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (6.1%) and Two or More Races (5.8%). 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 Elizabethann most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Elizabethann in the 2020 Census, accounting for 78.9% (540 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 Elizabethann in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Elizabethann a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Elizabethann 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 Elizabethann still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Elizabethann 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 Elizabethann 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.
