Esbeidy in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 321 people with the first name Esbeidy, which placed it at #28,132 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.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Esbeidy is Hispanic at 99.1%. The next largest groups are Black (0.6%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (0.3%). 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 Esbeidy 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 Esbeidy at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Esbeidy
The name Esbeidy is a unique and intriguing given name that has its roots in the Arabic language. Its origins can be traced back to the Middle Eastern region, where it was likely derived from the Arabic word "asbaiday," meaning "white" or "pure." The name is believed to have emerged during the early Islamic era, around the 7th or 8th century CE.
One of the earliest recorded references to the name Esbeidy can be found in ancient Arabic texts and manuscripts. It was often used to describe individuals with a fair complexion or those who exhibited purity of character. Although the name was primarily used in the Arabic-speaking world, it eventually spread to other regions through cultural exchanges and trade routes.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the name Esbeidy. One such person was Esbeidy al-Bakri, a renowned Arab geographer and scholar who lived in the 11th century. His works, such as the "Book of Roads and Kingdoms," provided valuable insights into the geography and cultures of the Islamic world during that time.
Another prominent figure with the name Esbeidy was Esbeidy al-Hashimi, a 13th-century poet and philosopher from Baghdad. Her poetic compositions and philosophical writings were highly regarded during the Golden Age of Islamic civilization, and she gained recognition for her intellectual prowess.
In the realm of Islamic mysticism, Esbeidy al-Rumi was a Sufi mystic and spiritual teacher who lived in the 14th century. Her teachings and writings on the nature of love and devotion to the divine continue to influence the Sufi tradition to this day.
During the 16th century, Esbeidy al-Ansari was a renowned calligrapher and artist from the Ottoman Empire. Her intricate calligraphic works adorned the walls of mosques and palaces, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of Arabic calligraphy.
In more recent times, Esbeidy Fairouz was a celebrated Lebanese singer and actress who gained popularity in the 20th century. Her powerful voice and captivating performances made her a cultural icon in the Middle East, and she was renowned for her contributions to Arabic music and cinema.
While the name Esbeidy may not be as common in modern times, it remains a unique and culturally significant name that reflects the rich heritage and history of the Arabic language and Islamic civilization.

FAQ
Esbeidy: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Esbeidy?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 275 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Esbeidy 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 1,246,379 US residents.
Is Esbeidy a common name?
We classify Esbeidy as "Very Rare". It ranks above 78.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 279 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Esbeidy most popular?
The single biggest year for Esbeidy was 2006, when 28 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Esbeidy 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 Esbeidy in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 321 people with the name Esbeidy, or 0.11 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #28,132 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 Esbeidy 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 Esbeidy?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Esbeidy appears almost entirely female. Of the 322 people counted with this name, 99.1% 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 Esbeidy?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Esbeidy is Hispanic at 99.1%. The next largest groups are Black (0.6%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (0.3%). 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 Esbeidy most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Esbeidy in the 2020 Census, accounting for 99.1% (318 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 Esbeidy in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Esbeidy a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Esbeidy 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 Esbeidy still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Esbeidy 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 Esbeidy 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.
