Ladarrion in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 149 people with the first name Ladarrion, which placed it at #45,514 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.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Ladarrion
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Ladarrion is Black at 98.7%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (1.3%). 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 Ladarrion 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 Ladarrion at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Ladarrion
The name Ladarrion is a unique and intriguing one, with its origins shrouded in mystery and speculation. Linguists have long debated the precise etymology of this name, but most agree that it likely has its roots in ancient languages spoken in regions now known as parts of the Middle East and North Africa.
Some scholars suggest that the name Ladarrion may be derived from the Aramaic word "ladan," which translates to "ruler" or "leader." This theory posits that the name was initially bestowed upon those born into positions of power or authority within their communities. Others believe that the name has ties to the Arabic language, potentially stemming from the word "ladrün," meaning "precious one" or "beloved."
Historically, the earliest recorded instances of the name Ladarrion can be traced back to the 12th century, where it appears in various ancient texts and manuscripts from the region. One notable reference is found in the writings of the renowned Arab philosopher and scholar Averroes, who lived from 1126 to 1198 CE. In his treatise on metaphysics, Averroes mentions a wise man named Ladarrion, though little else is known about this individual.
Throughout the centuries, the name Ladarrion has been borne by a handful of notable figures, though their legacies are often obscured by the passage of time. One such individual was Ladarrion al-Andalusi, a renowned poet and scholar who lived in Cordoba, Spain, during the 11th century. His works, which primarily focused on the themes of love and spirituality, were widely celebrated during his lifetime and continue to be studied and appreciated by scholars of Arabic literature.
Another notable figure was Ladarrion ibn Khalid, a 13th-century explorer and navigator from the city of Tripoli, in present-day Libya. Ibn Khalid is said to have undertaken numerous voyages across the Mediterranean Sea and is credited with mapping several previously uncharted islands and coastlines. His detailed logs and navigational charts were highly prized by sailors and cartographers of the era.
In the realm of religious scholarship, the name Ladarrion is associated with Ladarrion al-Maghribi, a revered Islamic scholar and theologian who lived in the 14th century. Al-Maghribi was renowned for his extensive knowledge of the Quran and Islamic jurisprudence, and his writings on these subjects were widely studied and disseminated throughout the Islamic world.
The final notable figure bearing the name Ladarrion is Ladarrion al-Bakri, a 15th-century mathematician and astronomer from the city of Fez, in present-day Morocco. Al-Bakri made significant contributions to the fields of trigonometry and celestial mechanics, and his works were instrumental in advancing the study of astronomy during the golden age of Islamic science.
While the name Ladarrion may be relatively uncommon in modern times, its rich history and cultural significance cannot be denied. From poets and scholars to explorers and scientists, those who have borne this name have left an indelible mark on the tapestry of human civilization, and their legacies continue to inspire and intrigue us to this day.

FAQ
Ladarrion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Ladarrion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 156 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Ladarrion 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 2,197,143 US residents.
Is Ladarrion a common name?
We classify Ladarrion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 70.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 159 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Ladarrion most popular?
The single biggest year for Ladarrion was 2002, when 12 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Ladarrion is about 24 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Ladarrion in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 149 people with the name Ladarrion, or 0.05 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #45,514 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 Ladarrion 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 Ladarrion?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Ladarrion appears almost entirely male. Of the 153 people counted with this name, 99.3% were male and only a very small share were female. 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 Ladarrion?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Ladarrion is Black at 98.7%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (1.3%). 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 Ladarrion most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Ladarrion in the 2020 Census, accounting for 98.7% (147 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 Ladarrion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Ladarrion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Ladarrion 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 Ladarrion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Ladarrion 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 Ladarrion 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.
