Census
Tyrianna in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 225 people with the first name Tyrianna, which placed it at #35,641 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.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Tyrianna
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Tyrianna is Black at 87.6%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (5.3%) and White (2.7%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Tyrianna 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 Tyrianna at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Tyrianna
The given name Tyrianna is a relatively modern name that appears to have originated in the late 20th century. Its origins are not entirely clear, but it seems to be a combination of the names Tyre and Anna, or perhaps a variation of the name Tyriana.
One possible origin of Tyrianna is that it is derived from the ancient Phoenician city of Tyre, which was located in modern-day Lebanon. Tyre was an important trading center in the Mediterranean region and was known for its production of purple dye, which was highly prized in the ancient world. The name Tyre itself is of Semitic origin and may have meant "rock" or "fortified place."
However, there is no concrete evidence of the name Tyrianna being used in ancient times or appearing in historical texts or religious scriptures from that era. The earliest recorded examples of the name seem to be from the late 20th century, and its usage appears to be primarily in the English-speaking world.
One of the earliest known individuals with the name Tyrianna was Tyrianna Samuela, a model and actress from Jamaica who was born in 1975. Another early bearer of the name was Tyrianna Beatrice, a writer and poet from the United States who was born in 1978.
Other notable individuals with the name Tyrianna include Tyrianna Meikal, an American singer and songwriter born in 1985, and Tyrianna Eshler, an Australian professional basketball player born in 1992.
Additionally, there was a character named Tyrianna in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, a series of novels and comics set in the Star Wars galaxy. This Tyrianna was a Jedi Master who lived during the time of the Old Republic.
While the name Tyrianna is relatively uncommon, it has gained some popularity in recent decades, particularly in the United States and other English-speaking countries. However, its exact origins and meaning remain somewhat ambiguous.

FAQ
Tyrianna: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tyrianna?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 263 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tyrianna 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 1,303,248 US residents.
Is Tyrianna a common name?
We classify Tyrianna as "Very Rare". It ranks above 77.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 267 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tyrianna most popular?
The single biggest year for Tyrianna was 2007, when 23 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tyrianna is about 19 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Tyrianna in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 225 people with the name Tyrianna, or 0.07 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #35,641 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 Tyrianna 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 Tyrianna?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Tyrianna appears almost entirely female. Of the 223 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 Tyrianna?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Tyrianna is Black at 87.6%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (5.3%) and White (2.7%). 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 Tyrianna most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Tyrianna in the 2020 Census, accounting for 87.6% (197 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 Tyrianna in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tyrianna a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Tyrianna 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 Tyrianna still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tyrianna 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 Tyrianna 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.
