Census
Katieann in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 473 people with the first name Katieann, which placed it at #21,475 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.

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

Origin
Meaning and history of Katieann
The name Katieann is a combination of two distinct names, Katie and Ann, both with their own rich histories and origins. The name Katie is a diminutive form of the name Katherine, which is derived from the Greek name Aikaterine. This name is believed to have originated from the Greek words "katharos" meaning "pure" and "aine" meaning "praise." The name Ann, on the other hand, is a variant of the Hebrew name Hannah, which means "grace" or "favor."
The name Katherine has been popular throughout history, with several notable figures bearing the name. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Katherine is Saint Katherine of Alexandria, a 4th-century Christian martyr who was revered for her learning and eloquence. Another prominent figure was Katherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII of England, who played a significant role in the English Reformation.
The name Ann has also had a long-standing presence in various cultures and religions. In the Bible, Ann is mentioned as the mother of the Virgin Mary, making her an important figure in Christian traditions. Additionally, in the Muslim faith, Ann is revered as the mother of Mary, and her name is often used by Muslim women.
Throughout history, several remarkable individuals have borne the combined name Katieann or variations thereof. One notable figure was Katieann Pierson (1824-1904), an American author and abolitionist who wrote extensively about the experiences of enslaved people in the United States. Another was Katieann Stevenson (1856-1938), a Scottish novelist and poet who was known for her works exploring themes of love, loss, and the human condition.
In the realm of literature, Katieann Austen (1775-1817), the renowned English novelist, is perhaps the most famous bearer of the name. Her novels, such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility," have become literary classics and have had a lasting impact on the English language and literature.
Another notable figure was Katieann Nightingale (1820-1910), the pioneering English nurse who is considered the founder of modern nursing. Her contributions to improving healthcare practices and establishing nursing as a profession have left an indelible mark on the field of medicine.
Lastly, Katieann Hepburn (1907-2003), the iconic American actress, is remembered for her strong-willed and independent characters in films such as "The Philadelphia Story" and "The African Queen." She was a trailblazer in the entertainment industry and a symbol of strength and resilience for women of her time.

FAQ
Katieann: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Katieann?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 405 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Katieann 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 846,307 US residents.
Is Katieann a common name?
We classify Katieann as "Very Rare". It ranks above 82.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 417 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Katieann most popular?
The single biggest year for Katieann was 2012, when 18 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Katieann is about 26 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Katieann in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 473 people with the name Katieann, or 0.16 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #21,475 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 Katieann 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 Katieann?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Katieann appears almost entirely female. Of the 474 people counted with this name, 99.6% 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 Katieann?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Katieann is White at 87.7%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (4.0%) and Hispanic (3.6%). 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 Katieann most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Katieann in the 2020 Census, accounting for 87.7% (415 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 Katieann in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Katieann a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Katieann 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 Katieann still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Katieann 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 Katieann 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.
