Meaning and history of Shawntrice
The name Shawntrice is a relatively modern name that appears to have emerged in the 20th century. It is believed to be a combination of the English name Shawn, which is derived from the Irish name Seán, and the French name Beatrice, which is derived from the Latin name Beatrix.
The name Seán is derived from the Old Irish name Sémhéan, which means "ancient" or "old." The name Beatrice, on the other hand, is derived from the Latin name Beatrix, which means "she who makes happy" or "bringer of joy."
There are no known historical references or ancient texts that mention the name Shawntrice specifically. However, the name Seán has been used in Ireland since the early Middle Ages, and the name Beatrice has been used in various European countries since the Middle Ages.
The earliest recorded example of the name Shawntrice is difficult to pinpoint due to its relatively recent origin. However, some notable people with the name Shawntrice include:

FAQ
Shawntrice: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Shawntrice?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 66 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Shawntrice 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 5,193,248 US residents.
Is Shawntrice a common name?
We classify Shawntrice as "Very Rare". It ranks above 58.4% 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 Shawntrice most popular?
The single biggest year for Shawntrice was 1992, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Shawntrice is about 41 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 Shawntrice in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Shawntrice a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Shawntrice 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 Shawntrice still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Shawntrice 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 Shawntrice 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.
