Lizvette in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 162 people with the first name Lizvette, which placed it at #43,512 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 Lizvette
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Lizvette is Hispanic at 96.3%. The next largest groups are White (1.9%) and American Indian/Alaska Native (1.2%). 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 Lizvette 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 Lizvette at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Lizvette
The name Lizvette has its origins in the Spanish language, derived from the Hebrew name Elizabeth, which means "God is my oath" or "consecrated to God." The name gained popularity in Spain during the Middle Ages, particularly after the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors in the 15th century.
Lizvette is a diminutive form of the name Elizabeth, with the addition of the Spanish suffix "-ette," which is often used to create affectionate or diminutive forms of names. This variation likely emerged in Spanish-speaking communities, possibly as a way to differentiate it from the more common Elizabeth or to add a unique flair to the traditional name.
While the name Lizvette does not appear to be explicitly mentioned in ancient texts or religious scriptures, its root name Elizabeth has biblical origins. In the New Testament, Elizabeth is the name of the mother of John the Baptist, who plays a significant role in the story of Jesus' birth.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Lizvette can be traced back to the 16th century in Spain. During this time, the Spanish empire was expanding across the Americas, and it is likely that the name was brought to the New World by Spanish settlers and colonists.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Lizvette, although it is not as widely documented as the more common Elizabeth. Here are five individuals with the name Lizvette:
1. Lizvette Hernández (born 1979), a Venezuelan model and television host.
2. Lizvette Álvarez (born 1968), a Cuban-American actress and singer.
3. Lizvette Valdez (born 1989), a Puerto Rican professional basketball player.
4. Lizvette Rodríguez (born 1970), a Mexican singer and songwriter.
5. Lizvette Lebrón (born 1988), a Puerto Rican professional boxer.
While the name Lizvette may not be as prevalent as some other names, its Spanish roots and unique variation on the classic Elizabeth have given it a distinct place in the world of given names. Its historical ties to Spain and the Spanish-speaking world, as well as its connections to the biblical Elizabeth, add depth and cultural significance to this name.

FAQ
Lizvette: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Lizvette?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 68 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Lizvette 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 5,040,505 US residents.
Is Lizvette a common name?
We classify Lizvette as "Very Rare". It ranks above 58.9% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 70 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Lizvette most popular?
The single biggest year for Lizvette was 1992, when 11 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Lizvette 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 Lizvette in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 162 people with the name Lizvette, or 0.05 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #43,512 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 Lizvette 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 Lizvette?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Lizvette appears almost entirely female. Of the 159 people counted with this name, 100.0% were female and only a very small share were male. 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 Lizvette?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Lizvette is Hispanic at 96.3%. The next largest groups are White (1.9%) and American Indian/Alaska Native (1.2%). 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 Lizvette most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Lizvette in the 2020 Census, accounting for 96.3% (156 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 Lizvette in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Lizvette a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Lizvette 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 Lizvette still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Lizvette 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 Lizvette 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.
