Census
Eury in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 231 people with the first name Eury, which placed it at #35,041 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 Eury
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Eury is Hispanic at 87.9%. The next largest groups are White (5.6%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (3.9%). 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 Eury 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 Eury at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Eury
The name Eury has its origins in the Greek language and culture, with the earliest recorded use dating back to ancient times. It is derived from the Greek word "eurus," which means "wide" or "broad." This name was commonly used in ancient Greece to describe someone with a strong, broad physique or perhaps a person with a broad, expansive mind or personality.
In ancient Greek mythology, Eury was the name of one of the Hesperides, the nymph daughters of the goddess Nyx (Night) who guarded the golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides. This mythological reference highlights the name's deep roots in Greek culture and folklore.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Eury was Eury of Samos, a Greek mathematician and engineer who lived in the 5th century BCE. He is credited with being one of the first people to study the properties of conic sections, laying the foundation for the development of geometry and mathematics.
In the realm of philosophy, Eury of Alexandria was a notable figure from the 3rd century BCE. He was a Peripatetic philosopher and a disciple of the celebrated philosopher Aristotle, contributing to the advancement of philosophical thought during that era.
During the Byzantine period, Eury Laskaris was a prominent military leader and statesman who lived in the 13th century. He played a crucial role in the defense of the Byzantine Empire against the Latin Crusaders and was instrumental in the eventual restoration of the empire in 1261.

FAQ
Eury: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Eury?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 11 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Eury 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 31,159,485 US residents.
Is Eury a common name?
We classify Eury as "Very Rare". It ranks above 30.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 16 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Eury most popular?
The single biggest year for Eury was 1995, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Eury is about 22 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Eury in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 231 people with the name Eury, or 0.08 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #35,041 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 Eury 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 Eury?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Eury leans strongly male. 207 people counted with this name were male (87.7%), compared with 29 female bearers (12.3%). 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 Eury?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Eury is Hispanic at 87.9%. The next largest groups are White (5.6%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (3.9%). 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 Eury most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Eury in the 2020 Census, accounting for 87.9% (203 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 Eury in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Eury a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Eury 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 Eury still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Eury 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 Eury 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.
