Origin
Meaning and history of Quatasia
Quatasia is a rare and enigmatic name with an uncertain origin. Its roots are shrouded in mystery, with no definitive cultural or linguistic source to draw from. Some scholars speculate that it may be a variation of the Greek name Eutokia, which means "good childbirth" or "easy labor." However, the connection is tenuous at best.
One of the earliest documented uses of the name Quatasia can be traced back to a Byzantine noblewoman named Quatasia Komnene, who lived in the 11th century. She was a prominent figure in the court of Emperor Alexios I Komnenos and is mentioned in several historical accounts of the time.
In the 14th century, a Venetian merchant named Quatasia Contarini is recorded as having established trade routes between Europe and the Middle East. Her exploits were celebrated in the chronicles of Marco Polo, who described her as a skilled negotiator and adventurer.
During the Renaissance period, a Italian painter named Quatasia Della Scala gained recognition for her vivid portraits and religious artwork. Born in 1492, she is believed to have been one of the few female artists of her time to achieve widespread acclaim.
The name Quatasia also appears in several literary works, including a character in the 17th-century play "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus" by Christopher Marlowe. In the play, Quatasia is portrayed as a beautiful and alluring sorceress.
In more recent times, one of the most notable figures with the name Quatasia was Quatasia Wilkins, an American civil rights activist born in 1922. She played a crucial role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott and worked closely with Martin Luther King Jr. in the fight against racial segregation.
While the name Quatasia remains relatively uncommon, its unique sound and rich history have fascinated many scholars and historians over the centuries. Despite its obscure origins, it has left an indelible mark on various cultures and civilizations, embodying a sense of mystery and intrigue.

FAQ
Quatasia: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Quatasia?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 53 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Quatasia 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 6,467,063 US residents.
Is Quatasia a common name?
We classify Quatasia as "Very Rare". It ranks above 55.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 55 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Quatasia most popular?
The single biggest year for Quatasia was 1995, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Quatasia is about 31 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 Quatasia in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Quatasia a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Quatasia 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 Quatasia still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Quatasia 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 Quatasia 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.
