Census
Latiana in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 171 people with the first name Latiana, which placed it at #42,203 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 Latiana 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 Latiana at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Latiana
The name Latiana has its roots in the Latin language, tracing back to the ancient Roman civilization. It is believed to have originated as a feminine form of the Latin name Latinus, which was derived from the word "latus," meaning "broad" or "wide." This connection suggests that Latiana may have been initially associated with concepts of expansiveness or grandeur.
During the Roman era, the name Latiana was not widely recorded, and its earliest known appearances were likely among the upper echelons of Roman society. However, it is possible that variations of the name existed in different regions of the Roman Empire, as Latin was the dominant language of the time.
As the Roman Empire declined and Christianity spread across Europe, the name Latiana may have been adopted by some Christian families, particularly in regions with strong Roman cultural influences. However, there is no definitive evidence of its widespread use in religious texts or historical records from this period.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Latiana was a noblewoman named Latiana de Montfort, who lived in the 12th century in the region of modern-day France. She was known for her patronage of the arts and her involvement in the crusades of the time.
In the 16th century, Latiana Valori was an Italian Renaissance poet and scholar who gained recognition for her literary works and her advocacy for women's education. Her birth and death years are unknown, but her contributions to the intellectual circles of her time were notable.
During the 18th century, Latiana Gambara was an Italian painter and engraver who achieved recognition for her religious and mythological works. She was born in 1726 and died in 1796, leaving behind a significant artistic legacy.
In the 19th century, Latiana Alvarez de Toledo was a Spanish aristocrat and philanthropist who dedicated her life to charitable causes and the betterment of her community. She was born in 1820 and passed away in 1895, leaving a lasting impact on her region.
Another notable figure was Latiana Sforza, an Italian noblewoman and patron of the arts, who lived in the 15th century. She was known for her support of artists and intellectuals during the Renaissance period and played a significant role in the cultural development of her time.
While the name Latiana may have fallen out of common usage in more recent centuries, its historical roots and associations with nobility, culture, and intellectual pursuits have left an enduring legacy. The name continues to evoke a sense of grandeur and elegance, reflecting its origins in the Latin language and the influential civilizations that shaped its early use.

FAQ
Latiana: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Latiana?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 176 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Latiana 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 1,947,468 US residents.
Is Latiana a common name?
We classify Latiana as "Very Rare". It ranks above 72.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 181 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Latiana most popular?
The single biggest year for Latiana was 1989, when 16 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Latiana is about 29 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Latiana in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 171 people with the name Latiana, or 0.06 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #42,203 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 Latiana 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 Latiana?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Latiana leans strongly female. 170 people counted with this name were female (98.3%), compared with 3 male bearers (1.7%). 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 Latiana?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Latiana is Black at 78.9%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (10.5%) and Two or More Races (5.8%). 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 Latiana most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Latiana in the 2020 Census, accounting for 78.9% (135 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 Latiana in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Latiana a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Latiana 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 Latiana still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Latiana 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 Latiana 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.
