Krizia in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 698 people with the first name Krizia, which placed it at #16,239 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 next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (18.8%) and White (6.2%). 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 Krizia 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 Krizia at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Krizia
The name Krizia originates from the Greek language and culture. It is a feminine name derived from the Greek word "krísis," which means "decision" or "judgment." The name likely emerged during the Classical period of ancient Greece, around the 5th century BCE.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Krizia can be found in the writings of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who lived from approximately 428 BCE to 348 BCE. In his work "The Republic," Plato mentions a character named Krizia, though little is known about the specific historical context or significance of this individual.
Throughout the centuries, the name Krizia has been borne by various notable figures. In the 4th century BCE, there was a Greek physician named Krizia, who was renowned for her expertise in the field of medicine. Unfortunately, not much is known about her life and works, as many records from that era have been lost or fragmented.
During the Byzantine Empire, which lasted from the 4th to the 15th century CE, there was a noblewoman named Krizia Komnena, who lived in the 12th century. She was a member of the influential Komnenos dynasty and is mentioned in several historical accounts of the time, though the details of her life are scarce.
In more recent history, one notable figure with the name Krizia was the Italian fashion designer Mariuccia Mandelli, also known as Krizia. She was born in 1925 and founded the Krizia fashion house in 1954, which became renowned for its elegant and sophisticated designs. Mandelli passed away in 2015 at the age of 90, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of fashion.
Another individual with the name Krizia was the Greek author and scholar Krizia Frangou-Kikilia, who lived in the 20th century. She was born in 1921 and is best known for her works on modern Greek literature and culture. Frangou-Kikilia made significant contributions to the preservation and promotion of Greek literary heritage.
These are just a few examples of individuals who have borne the name Krizia throughout history. While the name has its roots in ancient Greek culture, it has transcended geographical and temporal boundaries, being adopted by people from various backgrounds and eras.

FAQ
Krizia: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Krizia?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 393 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Krizia 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 872,148 US residents.
Is Krizia a common name?
We classify Krizia as "Very Rare". It ranks above 82.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 410 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Krizia most popular?
The single biggest year for Krizia was 1988, when 43 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Krizia is about 35 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Krizia in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 698 people with the name Krizia, or 0.23 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #16,239 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 Krizia 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 Krizia?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Krizia appears almost entirely female. Of the 706 people counted with this name, 99.7% 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 Krizia?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Krizia is Hispanic at 68.2%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (18.8%) and White (6.2%). 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 Krizia most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Krizia in the 2020 Census, accounting for 68.2% (476 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 Krizia in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Krizia a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Krizia 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 Krizia still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Krizia 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 Krizia 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.
