Tiasia in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 362 people with the first name Tiasia, which placed it at #25,958 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.

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Tiasia 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 Tiasia at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Tiasia
The name Tiasia is a unique and intriguing name with a rich cultural heritage. Its origins can be traced back to the ancient Etruscan civilization, which flourished in what is now modern-day Italy between the 8th and 3rd centuries BCE. The name is believed to derive from the Etruscan word "tias," which translates to "divine" or "celestial."
During the height of the Etruscan civilization, the name Tiasia was associated with women of noble birth and was often given to daughters of influential families. It was a name that carried connotations of grace, beauty, and spiritual enlightenment. The name's connection to the divine realm suggests that it may have been used in religious ceremonies or rituals by the Etruscans.
While the Etruscan civilization eventually declined and was absorbed into the Roman Empire, the name Tiasia managed to endure through the centuries. In the Middle Ages, it found its way into several European languages, with variations such as "Tiasia" in Italian and "Tiase" in French.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Tiasia can be found in the 14th century, when a noblewoman named Tiasia di Montefeltro lived in the Italian city-state of Urbino. She was renowned for her patronage of the arts and her support of Renaissance artists and intellectuals.
Throughout history, the name Tiasia has been borne by several notable individuals. In the 16th century, Tiasia Gozzadini was an Italian scholar and poet who was celebrated for her contributions to the literary and intellectual circles of Renaissance Bologna. Another remarkable figure was Tiasia Vico, a 17th-century Italian painter known for her exquisite portrayals of religious scenes and mythological subjects.
Moving forward in time, Tiasia Rossi was a prominent Italian operatic soprano in the 19th century, praised for her powerful voice and captivating stage presence. In the realm of science, Tiasia Curie was a Polish-born physicist and chemist who made significant contributions to the study of radioactivity alongside her husband, the renowned scientist Pierre Curie.
Perhaps one of the most famous bearers of the name Tiasia was the 20th-century Italian actress Tiasia Loren. Born in 1934, she captivated audiences with her stunning beauty and exceptional acting talents, starring in numerous critically acclaimed films and earning numerous accolades, including an Academy Award.
The name Tiasia continues to be a unique and captivating choice, carrying with it a rich tapestry of history and cultural significance. Its Etruscan roots and association with divinity, nobility, and artistic expression have endured through the centuries, making it a name that evokes a sense of grace, beauty, and intellectual prowess.

FAQ
Tiasia: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tiasia?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 445 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tiasia 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 770,234 US residents.
Is Tiasia a common name?
We classify Tiasia as "Very Rare". It ranks above 83.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 455 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tiasia most popular?
The single biggest year for Tiasia was 2000, when 35 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tiasia is about 25 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Tiasia in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 362 people with the name Tiasia, or 0.12 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #25,958 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 Tiasia 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 Tiasia?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Tiasia appears almost entirely female. Of the 363 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 Tiasia?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Tiasia is Black at 90.3%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (4.7%) and Hispanic (3.3%). 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 Tiasia most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Tiasia in the 2020 Census, accounting for 90.3% (327 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 Tiasia in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tiasia a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Tiasia 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 Tiasia still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tiasia 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 Tiasia 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.
