Jabarie in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 213 people with the first name Jabarie, which placed it at #36,939 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 Jabarie is Black at 92.5%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (4.2%) and Hispanic (1.4%).

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Jabarie 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 Jabarie at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Jabarie
The name Jabarie is of Arabic origin, derived from the word "jabbar," which means "powerful" or "mighty." It is believed to have emerged during the early Islamic period, around the 7th century AD, when Arabic language and culture were spreading across the Middle East and North Africa.
In its earliest form, the name was likely spelled as "Jabbar" or "Jabbari," with the suffix "-i" indicating a relation or belonging to the root word. Over time, as the name traveled and was adapted by different cultures, variations such as "Jabarie" emerged.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the famous Arabic literary work, "The Book of Songs" (Kitab al-Aghani), written in the 9th century by Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani. The book mentions a poet named Jabarie ibn Abi Sulayman, who lived during the Abbasid Caliphate in the 8th century.
Throughout history, several notable figures have borne the name Jabarie. One of the most prominent was Jabarie al-Hadrami, a Sufi scholar and mystic who lived in Yemen during the 12th century. He was known for his teachings on Islamic spirituality and his contributions to the development of Sufism in the region.
Another notable figure was Jabarie al-Baladhuri, a 9th-century Arab historian and author of the book "Futuh al-Buldan" (The Conquests of the Lands), which provided a detailed account of the early Islamic conquests and the spread of Islam.
In the field of literature, Jabarie al-Khwarizmi was a 10th-century Persian poet and writer who is celebrated for his contributions to the development of Persian poetry and literature during the Samanid era.
Moving forward in time, Jabarie al-Baghdadi was a 13th-century Kurdish philosopher and scholar who made significant contributions to the fields of logic, metaphysics, and ethics. His works were influential in the intellectual circles of the Islamic world during that period.
Finally, one of the more recent notable figures with the name Jabarie was Jabarie al-Siba'i, a 20th-century Syrian scholar and jurist who played a prominent role in the development of modern Islamic jurisprudence and legal thought.
These are just a few examples of the many individuals throughout history who have borne the name Jabarie, a name that carries a sense of power, strength, and cultural significance rooted in its Arabic origins.

FAQ
Jabarie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jabarie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 233 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jabarie 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 1,471,049 US residents.
Is Jabarie a common name?
We classify Jabarie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 76.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 236 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jabarie most popular?
The single biggest year for Jabarie was 2006, when 25 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jabarie is about 20 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Jabarie in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 213 people with the name Jabarie, or 0.07 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #36,939 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 Jabarie 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 Jabarie?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Jabarie appears almost entirely male. Of the 212 people counted with this name, 100.0% were male and only a very small share were female. 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 Jabarie?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jabarie is Black at 92.5%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (4.2%) and Hispanic (1.4%). 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 Jabarie most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Jabarie in the 2020 Census, accounting for 92.5% (197 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 Jabarie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jabarie a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jabarie 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 Jabarie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jabarie 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 Jabarie 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.
