Census
Evamaria in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 561 people with the first name Evamaria, which placed it at #19,036 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 Evamaria
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Evamaria is White at 56.7%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (38.7%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (3.4%). 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 Evamaria 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 Evamaria at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Evamaria
The name Evamaria is a feminine given name that combines the names Eva and Maria. It is a compound name that likely originated in regions where Christianity had a strong influence, as both Eva and Maria have biblical roots.
Eva is a name derived from the Hebrew name Chavvah, which means "life-giver" or "mother of all living." It is the name given to the first woman in the Book of Genesis in the Bible. The name Maria, on the other hand, is the Latin form of the Greek name Μαρία (Maria), which was derived from the Hebrew name מִרְיָם (Miryam). Maria is the name of the mother of Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
The earliest recorded use of the name Evamaria is difficult to pinpoint precisely, but it likely emerged as a combination of the two names during the Middle Ages or the Renaissance period, when the veneration of the Virgin Mary was particularly strong in Christian cultures.
One of the earliest known historical figures with the name Evamaria was Evamaria Elbert (1625-1674), a German composer and organist. She was one of the few female composers of her time and is credited with composing several sacred works, including motets and sacred concertos.
Another notable Evamaria in history was Evamaria Haydn (1753-1800), the younger sister of the famous composer Joseph Haydn. She was a skilled singer and performed in many of her brother's compositions.
In the 19th century, Evamaria Zeitz (1817-1889) was a German writer and educator who founded several schools for girls and wrote numerous books on education and women's rights.
Evamaria Orzes (1888-1958) was an Italian painter and sculptor who worked primarily in the Art Nouveau style. She is known for her decorative sculptures and murals adorning public buildings in Italy.
Evamaria Saal (1922-1996) was a German writer and journalist who survived the Nazi concentration camps during World War II. She wrote extensively about her experiences during the Holocaust and advocated for human rights and peace.
These are just a few examples of historical figures who bore the name Evamaria, a name that reflects the cultural and religious influences of the regions where it was used, as well as the significance of the names Eva and Maria in the Christian tradition.

FAQ
Evamaria: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Evamaria?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 167 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Evamaria 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 2,052,421 US residents.
Is Evamaria a common name?
We classify Evamaria as "Very Rare". It ranks above 71.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 170 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Evamaria most popular?
The single biggest year for Evamaria was 2018, when 13 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Evamaria is about 18 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Evamaria in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 561 people with the name Evamaria, or 0.19 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #19,036 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 Evamaria 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 Evamaria?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Evamaria appears almost entirely female. Of the 561 people counted with this name, 99.8% 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 Evamaria?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Evamaria is White at 56.7%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (38.7%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (3.4%). 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 Evamaria most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Evamaria in the 2020 Census, accounting for 56.7% (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 Evamaria in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Evamaria a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Evamaria 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 Evamaria still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Evamaria 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 Evamaria 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.
