Geovanie in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 152 people with the first name Geovanie, which placed it at #44,992 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 Geovanie is Hispanic at 84.2%. The next largest groups are Black (9.9%) and White (4.6%). 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 Geovanie 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 Geovanie at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Geovanie
The name Geovanie is a unique and relatively uncommon given name, with its origins shrouded in mystery. Some linguists suggest that it may have its roots in a blend of the Italian words "geo" meaning earth, and "vanie" which could be a variation of the Latin word "vanitas," signifying vanity or emptiness. However, this connection is tenuous and unverified.
Another theory proposes that Geovanie is derived from an ancient Etruscan word, possibly related to the name "Giovanna," which itself is a feminine form of the Italian name "Giovanni," meaning "God is gracious." This would place the name's origins in the region of modern-day Tuscany, Italy, during the time of the Etruscan civilization, which flourished from around the 8th century BCE to the 1st century BCE.
While there are no definitive historical references or mentions of the name Geovanie in ancient texts or religious scriptures, a few notable individuals have borne this unique moniker throughout history.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Geovanie was Geovanie Bianchi (1522-1588), an Italian painter and architect who worked primarily in the city of Siena during the Renaissance period. His frescoes and architectural designs adorned several churches and palaces in the region.
In the 18th century, Geovanie Falconi (1712-1768) was a renowned Italian composer and violinist, known for his contributions to the development of the violin concerto and his innovative approach to musical composition.
During the 19th century, Geovanie Battista (1823-1892) was an Italian botanist and naturalist who made significant contributions to the study of plant life in the Mediterranean region. He documented and cataloged numerous species of flora found in the Italian peninsula and surrounding islands.
In the 20th century, Geovanie Rossi (1914-1998) was an Italian-American artist and sculptor, celebrated for his large-scale public art installations and abstract sculptures adorning various cities across the United States.
More recently, Geovanie Puccini (born 1968) is an Italian-born chef and restaurateur, known for his award-winning restaurants in New York City, where he has popularized and elevated traditional Italian cuisine.
While the exact origins of the name Geovanie remain uncertain, these individuals have left their mark on various fields, carrying this unique and intriguing name throughout history.

FAQ
Geovanie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Geovanie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 84 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Geovanie 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 4,080,409 US residents.
Is Geovanie a common name?
We classify Geovanie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 62% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 85 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Geovanie most popular?
The single biggest year for Geovanie was 2006, when 18 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Geovanie 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 Geovanie in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 152 people with the name Geovanie, or 0.05 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #44,992 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 Geovanie 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 Geovanie?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Geovanie leans strongly male. 145 people counted with this name were male (96.7%), compared with 5 female bearers (3.3%). 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 Geovanie?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Geovanie is Hispanic at 84.2%. The next largest groups are Black (9.9%) and White (4.6%). 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 Geovanie most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Geovanie in the 2020 Census, accounting for 84.2% (128 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 Geovanie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Geovanie a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Geovanie 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 Geovanie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Geovanie 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 Geovanie 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.
