Origin
Meaning and history of Ldarius
The name Ldarius is a relatively modern creation, with its origins traced back to the late 20th century. It appears to be a creative combination of the letter "L" and the name "Darius," which has Persian roots. The name Darius is derived from the Old Persian word "Dârayavahu," meaning "he who holds firm the good."
While there are no definitive records of the name Ldarius appearing in ancient texts or historical scriptures, its connection to the name Darius suggests a potential link to Persian culture and history. However, the addition of the letter "L" at the beginning is a more recent development, likely influenced by modern naming trends and the desire for unique and distinctive names.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Ldarius are relatively scarce, as it is a fairly uncommon name. However, some notable individuals throughout history have borne this name:
1. Ldarius Toney (born 1999), an American football wide receiver currently playing for the New York Giants in the National Football League (NFL).
2. Ldarius Hobbs (born 1987), an American football safety who played in the NFL for teams like the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles.
3. Ldarius Underwood (born 1998), an American professional basketball player currently playing in the NBA G League.
4. Ldarius Greer (born 1992), an American basketball player who played college basketball for the University of Memphis.
5. Ldarius Kelly (born 1994), an American professional basketball player who played college basketball for the University of Memphis.
It is worth noting that due to the relatively modern nature of the name Ldarius, there are limited historical references or famous individuals associated with it from earlier periods. However, its connection to the name Darius and its Persian roots provide an interesting cultural and linguistic background for this unique and distinctive name.

FAQ
Ldarius: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Ldarius?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Ldarius 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Ldarius a common name?
We classify Ldarius as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Ldarius most popular?
The single biggest year for Ldarius was 1992, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Ldarius is about 33 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 Ldarius in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Ldarius a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Ldarius 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 Ldarius still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Ldarius 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 Ldarius 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.
