Kabrina in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 402 people with the first name Kabrina, which placed it at #24,093 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 Kabrina is Black at 44.8%. The next largest groups are White (35.3%) and Hispanic (8.7%). 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 Kabrina 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 Kabrina at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Kabrina
The name Kabrina has its roots in the ancient Etruscan civilization, which flourished in what is now modern-day Italy between the 8th and 3rd centuries BCE. The Etruscans were a highly advanced society known for their contributions to architecture, engineering, and the arts.
Kabrina is derived from the Etruscan word "kabrin," which means "free-spirited" or "unconventional." It was a name often given to daughters who were seen as independent and spirited, qualities that were highly valued in Etruscan society. The name was also associated with the goddess of fertility and abundance, reflecting the Etruscans' reverence for the natural world.
One of the earliest known references to the name Kabrina can be found in the Etruscan tomb paintings of the 6th century BCE. These paintings depict scenes from daily life, including women with the name Kabrina engaged in various activities, such as weaving and dancing. This suggests that the name was already in use during this period.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Kabrina. One of the earliest recorded was Kabrina of Veii (c. 500 BCE), a renowned Etruscan artist known for her intricate bronze sculptures and pottery. Her works were highly prized and can be found in many museums today.
Another famous Kabrina was the Roman poet Kabrina Claudia (c. 50 CE), whose works explored themes of love, nature, and the human condition. Her poetry was widely influential and helped shape the literary traditions of the ancient world.
During the Renaissance period, Kabrina Sforza (1463-1524) was a prominent figure in the Italian courts. She was known for her intelligence, wit, and political acumen, and served as a trusted advisor to several powerful rulers of the time.
In the 18th century, Kabrina Vespucci (1723-1786) was a renowned Italian explorer and cartographer. She was one of the first women to chart and map unexplored regions of the world, contributing significantly to the advancement of geographic knowledge.
More recently, Kabrina Kovic (1920-2005) was a Serbian-American artist and activist who used her art as a means of promoting social justice and raising awareness about human rights issues. Her vibrant and thought-provoking works have been exhibited in galleries around the world.
While the name Kabrina has its roots in ancient Etruscan culture, it has endured and evolved over the centuries, carrying with it a sense of independence, creativity, and a connection to the natural world. These qualities have been embodied by the many remarkable individuals who have borne this name throughout history.

FAQ
Kabrina: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Kabrina?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 417 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Kabrina 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 821,953 US residents.
Is Kabrina a common name?
We classify Kabrina as "Very Rare". It ranks above 82.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 435 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Kabrina most popular?
The single biggest year for Kabrina was 1993, when 98 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Kabrina is about 34 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Kabrina in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 402 people with the name Kabrina, or 0.13 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #24,093 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 Kabrina 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 Kabrina?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Kabrina appears almost entirely female. Of the 397 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 Kabrina?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Kabrina is Black at 44.8%. The next largest groups are White (35.3%) and Hispanic (8.7%). 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 Kabrina most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Kabrina in the 2020 Census, accounting for 44.8% (180 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 Kabrina in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Kabrina a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Kabrina 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 Kabrina still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Kabrina 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 Kabrina 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.
