Eviana in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 578 people with the first name Eviana, which placed it at #18,590 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 Eviana
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Eviana is Hispanic at 45.2%. The next largest groups are White (37.7%) and Black (7.6%). 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 Eviana 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 Eviana at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Eviana
The name Eviana is believed to have its origins in the Latin language, with roots that can be traced back to ancient Rome. It is a combination of two Latin words, "aevum," meaning "age" or "eternity," and "vita," meaning "life." Together, these words form the name Eviana, which can be interpreted as "eternal life" or "everlasting life."
During the Roman era, names with similar roots, such as Aeviterna and Vitalis, were not uncommon. However, the specific name Eviana does not appear to have been widely used until much later in history. One of the earliest recorded examples of the name can be found in the writings of Italian poet and scholar Petrarch, who lived in the 14th century.
Eviana gained some popularity in certain regions of Europe during the Renaissance period, particularly in Italy and Spain. It was favored by noble families who appreciated the name's association with longevity and eternal life. One notable figure from this time was Eviana de' Medici, a member of the influential Medici family in Florence, who lived from 1482 to 1552.
In the 17th century, the name Eviana appeared in several religious texts and writings, often used as a symbolic representation of spiritual immortality or the everlasting nature of the soul. One such example can be found in the works of Spanish mystic and poet, St. John of the Cross, who referred to Eviana as a metaphor for the divine love that transcends earthly existence.
As the name spread to different parts of the world, it underwent various spelling variations, such as Eviana, Evianna, and Evyanna. In the 19th century, Eviana Cavendish, an English aristocrat and philanthropist, was known for her charitable work and efforts to improve the living conditions of the poor (1820-1898).
Another notable figure was Eviana Fallaci, an Italian journalist, and author who gained international recognition for her incisive reporting and best-selling books on topics like war, politics, and feminism (1929-2006). Her fearless and outspoken nature earned her both acclaim and controversy during her lifetime.
While the name Eviana has remained relatively rare throughout history, it has been carried by individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures, each contributing to the rich tapestry of its legacy.

FAQ
Eviana: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Eviana?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 865 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Eviana 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 396,248 US residents.
Is Eviana a common name?
We classify Eviana as "Very Rare". It ranks above 89.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 872 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Eviana most popular?
The single biggest year for Eviana was 2015, when 63 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Eviana is about 11 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Eviana in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 578 people with the name Eviana, or 0.19 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #18,590 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 Eviana 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 Eviana?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Eviana appears almost entirely female. Of the 573 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 Eviana?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Eviana is Hispanic at 45.2%. The next largest groups are White (37.7%) and Black (7.6%). 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 Eviana most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Eviana in the 2020 Census, accounting for 45.2% (261 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 Eviana in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Eviana a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Eviana 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 Eviana still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Eviana 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 Eviana 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.
