Meaning and history of Yadeliz
The name Yadeliz is a relatively modern name with origins that can be traced back to the late 20th century. It is believed to have been created by combining the names Yade and Liz, although the specific reasons behind this combination are unclear. Some scholars suggest that it may have been derived from the Arabic name Yadira, which means "prosperous" or "rich," while others speculate that it could be a combination of various linguistic roots from different cultures.
Despite its recent emergence, the name Yadeliz has gained popularity in certain regions, particularly in Latin America. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the birth records of a baby girl born in Mexico in the late 1980s. However, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact origin or meaning behind this unique name due to its modern and unconventional nature.

FAQ
Yadeliz: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yadeliz?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 15 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yadeliz 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 22,850,289 US residents.
Is Yadeliz a common name?
We classify Yadeliz as "Very Rare". It ranks above 35.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 15 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Yadeliz most popular?
The single biggest year for Yadeliz was 2004, when 10 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yadeliz is about 21 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 Yadeliz in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yadeliz a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yadeliz 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 Yadeliz still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yadeliz 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 Yadeliz 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.
