Trinida in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 122 people with the first name Trinida, which placed it at #49,985 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 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 Trinida at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Trinida
The name Trinida has its origins in the Spanish language and culture. It is believed to have derived from the Latin word "trinitas," which means "trinity" or "triad." The name may have been coined during the medieval period in Spain, when the concept of the Holy Trinity was deeply ingrained in Christian theology and culture.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Trinida can be found in historical records from the 15th century. In 1492, a woman named Trinida Hernandez was mentioned in a document from the city of Seville, Spain. This suggests that the name was in use during the late medieval and early Renaissance periods in the Iberian Peninsula.
During the 16th century, the name Trinida gained popularity in Spain and its colonies, particularly in the Spanish Americas. One notable historical figure bearing this name was Trinida Mojica (1520-1598), a renowned educator and philanthropist from Puebla, Mexico. She established one of the first schools for girls in the region and dedicated her life to promoting education and charitable works.
In the 17th century, the name Trinida found its way to other parts of Europe, such as Italy and France. One notable bearer of the name from this period was Trinida Visconti (1610-1678), a noblewoman and patron of the arts from Milan. She was known for her support of artists and musicians, and her palazzo served as a cultural hub during the Baroque period.
The 18th century saw the name Trinida spread further across Europe and the Americas. One notable figure was Trinida Montes de Oca (1735-1802), a Mexican writer and philosopher who advocated for women's education and rights. Her literary works and treatises on social and political issues made her a prominent intellectual figure of her time.
In the 19th century, the name Trinida continued to be used, particularly in Spanish-speaking regions. One notable bearer was Trinida Antonia Rivero (1820-1898), a Cuban poet and activist who fought for the abolition of slavery and women's rights. Her passionate poetry and activism made her a significant figure in the literary and social circles of her time.
These are just a few examples of the historical figures who bore the name Trinida over the centuries, highlighting its Spanish and Latin roots, as well as its cultural significance in various parts of the world.

Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.

Which group reports the name Trinida most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Trinida in the 2020 Census, accounting for 86.1% (105 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 Trinida in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Is Trinida still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Trinida 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 Trinida 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.
