Origin
Meaning and history of Tavarion
The name Tavarion has its roots in the ancient Etruscan language, which was spoken in what is now modern-day Italy. It is believed to have originated around the 6th century BCE. The name is derived from the Etruscan word "tavar," which means "brave" or "courageous."
One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name Tavarion can be found in the writings of the Roman historian Livy. In his work "Ab Urbe Condita," he mentions a warrior named Tavarion who fought alongside the Etruscans against the Romans in the Battle of Veii in 396 BCE.
During the Middle Ages, the name Tavarion was adopted by some noble families in Italy. One notable bearer of the name was Tavarion de Medici, a wealthy merchant and politician who lived in Florence during the 15th century. He played a significant role in the city's political and cultural affairs.
In the 16th century, a Spanish explorer named Tavarion de Vargas led an expedition to the Americas. He is credited with establishing the first Spanish settlement in what is now New Mexico.
Another historical figure with the name Tavarion was a French artist and sculptor who lived in the 18th century. Tavarion Coustou was known for his works in the Baroque and Neoclassical styles, and he created several notable sculptures for the Palace of Versailles.
In the 19th century, Tavarion Beauregard was a prominent American military officer who fought for the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. He was a skilled tactician and played a crucial role in several major battles, including the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861.

FAQ
Tavarion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tavarion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 106 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tavarion 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 3,233,531 US residents.
Is Tavarion a common name?
We classify Tavarion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 65.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 107 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tavarion most popular?
The single biggest year for Tavarion was 2006, when 13 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tavarion is about 18 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 Tavarion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tavarion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Tavarion 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 Tavarion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tavarion 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 Tavarion 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.
