Labaron in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 189 people with the first name Labaron, which placed it at #39,747 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.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Labaron
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Labaron is Black at 91.5%. The next largest groups are White (3.7%) and Two or More Races (2.6%). 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 Labaron 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 Labaron at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Labaron
The name Labaron is an intriguing one with roots that can be traced back to several cultures and linguistic traditions. Its origins lie in the French language, where it is believed to have emerged from the combination of two words: "la" meaning "the" and "baron" referring to a nobleman or lord. This suggests that the name may have initially been a title or designation given to individuals of high social standing or authority.
Another theory posits that Labaron could be derived from the Latin word "laborum," which translates to "of works" or "of labors." In this context, the name may have been bestowed upon individuals who were known for their diligence, hard work, or significant achievements in their respective fields.
During the Middle Ages, the name Labaron can be found in various historical records and documents, particularly in regions where French and Latin influences were prevalent. One notable example is the mention of a Labaron de Montfort, who was a knight and military commander during the Albigensian Crusade in the early 13th century.
As time passed, the name Labaron seems to have retained its association with nobility and distinction. In the 16th century, a French nobleman named Labaron de Villeneuve was known for his contributions to the arts and literature. His patronage of artists and writers during the Renaissance period helped foster a vibrant cultural environment in France.
Moving forward to the 17th century, Labaron de Montesquieu, a prominent French philosopher and political thinker, left a lasting impact on Enlightenment thought with his seminal work, "The Spirit of the Laws." His ideas on the separation of powers and the influence of climate on societal structures continue to shape political discourse to this day.
In the realm of exploration and discovery, Labaron de la Salle, a French explorer, is credited with leading expeditions that mapped the Great Lakes region and the Mississippi River basin in the late 17th century. His contributions to the expansion of French territory in North America were significant.
Another notable figure bearing the name Labaron was Labaron de Beauvais, a French military officer who served under Napoleon Bonaparte during the Napoleonic Wars. His bravery and leadership on the battlefield earned him numerous honors and distinctions.
Throughout its history, the name Labaron has maintained a sense of prestige and distinction, often associated with individuals who have made notable contributions in various fields, from politics and philosophy to exploration and military service.

FAQ
Labaron: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Labaron?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 159 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Labaron 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 2,155,688 US residents.
Is Labaron a common name?
We classify Labaron as "Very Rare". It ranks above 71.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 170 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Labaron most popular?
The single biggest year for Labaron was 1979, when 13 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Labaron is about 44 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Labaron in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 189 people with the name Labaron, or 0.06 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #39,747 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 Labaron 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 Labaron?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Labaron leans strongly male. 185 people counted with this name were male (98.4%), compared with 3 female bearers (1.6%). 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 Labaron?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Labaron is Black at 91.5%. The next largest groups are White (3.7%) and Two or More Races (2.6%). 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 Labaron most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Labaron in the 2020 Census, accounting for 91.5% (173 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 Labaron in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Labaron a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Labaron in the SSA data are male. 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 Labaron still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Labaron 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 Labaron 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.
