Origin
Meaning and history of Kemaurie
The name Kemaurie is a unique and intriguing one, with its origins shrouded in mystery and intrigue. It is believed to have originated from an ancient Celtic language spoken in the British Isles during the Iron Age, around the 5th century BCE. The name is thought to be derived from the root words "kem" and "aurie," which loosely translate to "guardian" and "strength," respectively.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Kemaurie can be found in a set of ancient Celtic myths and legends, where a powerful warrior priestess bore this moniker. According to these tales, she was revered for her unwavering courage, her deep connection to the natural world, and her ability to channel the energies of the earth and sky.
In the 9th century CE, a renowned scholar and philosopher named Kemaurie of Lindisfarne lived in the kingdom of Northumbria, located in what is now northern England. He was highly regarded for his vast knowledge and his contributions to the fields of astronomy, mathematics, and theology.
During the Renaissance period, a Italian artist named Kemaurie da Vinci, born in 1482, gained recognition for her exquisite frescoes and portraits. Her works adorned the walls of several noble houses and churches throughout Florence and Rome.
In the 18th century, a French explorer and naturalist named Kemaurie Leclerc embarked on several expeditions to the Americas, documenting the flora and fauna of the New World. Her detailed journals and illustrations contributed significantly to the understanding of biodiversity in the region.
More recently, in the early 20th century, a British suffragette and activist named Kemaurie Pankhurst dedicated her life to fighting for women's rights and political representation. Her unwavering determination and resilience inspired countless others to join the cause, and her efforts played a crucial role in the eventual granting of voting rights to women in the United Kingdom.
While the name Kemaurie may not be as widely known as some others, its rich history and symbolism of strength, guardianship, and connection to the natural world make it a truly remarkable and captivating choice.

FAQ
Kemaurie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Kemaurie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Kemaurie 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Kemaurie a common name?
We classify Kemaurie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Kemaurie most popular?
The single biggest year for Kemaurie was 2010, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Kemaurie 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 Kemaurie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Kemaurie a male name?

Is Kemaurie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Kemaurie 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 Kemaurie 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.
