Origin
Meaning and history of Greidis
The name Greidis is a relatively modern given name with uncertain origins. It does not appear to have any known historical roots or connections to ancient languages or cultures.
Some theories suggest that Greidis may be a variation or derivative of the name Greid, which itself is a shortened form of the German name Gretchen or Greta. Gretchen is a diminutive of the name Margareta, which comes from the Greek word "margarites" meaning pearl.
However, there is no clear evidence to support a direct link between Greidis and these Germanic or Greek origins. The name Greidis seems to have emerged more recently, perhaps as a unique creation or combination of sounds without a defined etymology.

Another figure is Greidis Gil, a Venezuelan actress born in 1982. She has appeared in numerous telenovelas and films, gaining recognition for her roles in productions such as "La Mujer Perfecta" and "El Árbol de la Vida."

Greidis Bracho is a Venezuelan singer and actress born in 1994. She gained popularity for her role in the telenovela "La Vida Entera" and has released several music albums, showcasing her talents as a recording artist.
Lastly, Greidis Vásquez is a Venezuelan model and beauty queen born in 1997. She was crowned Miss Venezuela International in 2019 and represented her country at the Miss International pageant.

FAQ
Greidis: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Greidis?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 34 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Greidis 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 10,081,010 US residents.
Is Greidis a common name?
We classify Greidis as "Very Rare". It ranks above 48.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 34 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Greidis most popular?
The single biggest year for Greidis was 2010, when 15 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Greidis is about 16 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
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 Greidis in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Greidis a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Greidis 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 Greidis still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Greidis 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 Greidis 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.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
