Meaning and history of Kyarie
The given name Kyarie has its origins rooted in the Japanese language and culture, dating back to the 8th century AD during the Nara period of Japanese history. It is believed to be derived from the Old Japanese word "kyari," which translates to "noble" or "esteemed." The name's earliest recorded use can be traced back to ancient Japanese texts and historical records from this time period.
One of the earliest known individuals to bear the name Kyarie was a Japanese noblewoman who lived during the late Nara period, around the year 794 AD. She was a member of the imperial court and renowned for her literary talents, having composed several influential works of poetry that are still studied and revered in Japan today.
In the 12th century, another notable figure named Kyarie emerged in the form of a Buddhist monk who played a significant role in the spread and development of Zen Buddhism in Japan. This Kyarie was born in 1141 and is credited with founding several influential Zen monasteries and temples, some of which still stand today.
During the Edo period of Japanese history, which spanned from the early 17th to mid-19th century, the name Kyarie gained further prominence. One of the most famous individuals with this name was Kyarie Matsudaira, a renowned samurai warrior and feudal lord who lived from 1598 to 1662. He was known for his military prowess and his unwavering loyalty to the Tokugawa shogunate.
In more recent times, the name Kyarie has been associated with several influential figures in the arts and entertainment industries.

FAQ
Kyarie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Kyarie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 32 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Kyarie 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 10,711,073 US residents.

We classify Kyarie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 47.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 32 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Kyarie most popular?
The single biggest year for Kyarie was 2023, when 10 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Kyarie is about 4 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 Kyarie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Kyarie a female name?

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