Census
Eulice in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 131 people with the first name Eulice, which placed it at #48,547 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.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Eulice
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Eulice is White at 41.2%. The next largest groups are Black (31.3%) and Hispanic (22.9%). 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 Eulice 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 Eulice at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Eulice
The name Eulice is a rare and unique feminine given name of Greek origin. It is derived from the Greek word "eulikos," which means "beautiful" or "graceful." The name can be traced back to ancient Greece, where it was used as a name for goddesses and other mythological figures associated with beauty and grace.
In Greek mythology, Eulice was one of the Oceanids, the three thousand daughters of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. Although not much is known about her specifically, the name Eulice was likely chosen for its association with beauty and elegance.
The earliest recorded use of the name Eulice dates back to the 5th century BC, when it appeared in ancient Greek texts and inscriptions. However, it was not a commonly used name during this time period and remained relatively obscure.
Throughout history, there have been a few notable individuals who bore the name Eulice. One of the earliest recorded was Eulice of Cyzicus, a Greek philosopher who lived in the 4th century BC. She was known for her teachings on ethics and virtue.
Another notable figure was Eulice of Thessaly, a Greek priestess and prophetess who lived in the 3rd century BC. She was revered for her ability to interpret the will of the gods and her wisdom in guiding the people of Thessaly.
In the Middle Ages, Eulice was the name of a Benedictine nun who lived in the 11th century. She was known for her piety and devotion to her religious order.
During the Renaissance, Eulice was the name of an Italian painter who lived in the 15th century. Although not much is known about her life, some of her paintings depicting religious scenes can still be found in churches and museums in Italy.
In more recent times, Eulice was the name of a French novelist who lived in the 19th century. She wrote several novels that explored themes of love, loss, and the human condition.
Despite its rich history and meaning, the name Eulice has remained relatively uncommon throughout the centuries. However, its unique and beautiful sound, combined with its connection to ancient Greek mythology and history, may inspire some parents to consider reviving this rare and elegant name.

FAQ
Eulice: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Eulice?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 43 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Eulice 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 7,971,031 US residents.
Is Eulice a common name?
We classify Eulice as "Very Rare". It ranks above 52.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 239 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Eulice most popular?
The single biggest year for Eulice was 1921, when 16 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Eulice is about 83 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Eulice in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 131 people with the name Eulice, or 0.04 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #48,547 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 Eulice 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 Eulice?
The 2020 Census sex table shows Eulice on both sides of the split. Of the 132 people counted with this name, 103 were male (78.0%) and 29 were female (22.0%). 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 Eulice?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Eulice is White at 41.2%. The next largest groups are Black (31.3%) and Hispanic (22.9%). 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 Eulice most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Eulice in the 2020 Census, accounting for 41.2% (54 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 Eulice in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Eulice a male name?
Yes, 97.9% of people registered as Eulice in the SSA data are male. 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 Eulice still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Eulice 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 Eulice 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.
