Labria in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 324 people with the first name Labria, which placed it at #27,953 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 Labria 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 Labria at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Labria
The name Labria has its origins in ancient Greece, dating back to the 5th century BC. It is believed to be derived from the Greek word "labros," which means "fierce" or "violent." This suggests that the name was initially given to individuals who possessed a strong and courageous spirit.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Labria can be found in the works of the ancient Greek historian Herodotus. He mentions a warrior named Labria who fought bravely in the Greco-Persian Wars, displaying remarkable valor on the battlefield.
During the Hellenistic period, which followed the reign of Alexander the Great, the name Labria gained popularity across the Mediterranean region. It was particularly common in the Greek colonies of Asia Minor and the islands of the Aegean Sea.
In the 2nd century AD, a renowned Greek philosopher named Labria of Nicomedia made significant contributions to the field of ethics. His teachings emphasized the importance of virtue and self-control, and he had a profound influence on the intellectual circles of his time.
The name Labria also appeared in the Byzantine Empire, which was the continuation of the Roman Empire in the East. One notable figure was Labria Kantakouzenos, a military commander who lived in the 14th century and played a crucial role in defending Constantinople against the Ottoman Turks.
In the Renaissance period, the name Labria resurfaced in Italy, where it was sometimes used as a variant of the more common name Laura. One famous bearer of this name was Labria Cerchi, an Italian noblewoman and patron of the arts, who lived in Florence during the 15th century and was known for her support of artists and poets.
Another significant figure in history with the name Labria was Labria Basilico, an Italian botanist and naturalist from the 16th century. She made important contributions to the study of plants and their medicinal properties, and her work influenced the development of modern pharmacology.
Over the centuries, the name Labria has been used in various forms and spellings, such as Labria, Lavria, and Labrie, reflecting the linguistic and cultural influences of different regions. However, its Greek roots and association with strength, courage, and fierceness have remained a consistent thread throughout its history.

FAQ
Labria: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Labria?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 427 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Labria 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 802,703 US residents.
Is Labria a common name?
We classify Labria as "Very Rare". It ranks above 83% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 437 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Labria most popular?
The single biggest year for Labria was 1993, when 36 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Labria is about 25 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Labria in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 324 people with the name Labria, or 0.11 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #27,953 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 Labria 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 Labria?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Labria leans strongly female. 321 people counted with this name were female (98.8%), compared with 4 male bearers (1.2%). 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 Labria?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Labria is Black at 91.0%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (3.4%) and Two or More Races (2.5%). 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 Labria most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Labria in the 2020 Census, accounting for 91.0% (295 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 Labria in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Labria a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Labria 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 Labria still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Labria 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 Labria 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.
