Yasmany in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 602 people with the first name Yasmany, which placed it at #18,028 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.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Yasmany is Hispanic at 97.8%. The next largest groups are White (1.8%) and Black (0.2%). 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 Yasmany 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 Yasmany at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Yasmany
The given name Yasmany is of Arabic origin, derived from the word "Yasmin," which means "jasmine flower." Its roots can be traced back to the medieval Islamic world, where the fragrant jasmine flower held symbolic significance in literature and poetry.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Yasmany can be found in the writings of the renowned Persian poet Hafez, who lived in the 14th century. He often used floral imagery, including the jasmine, as a metaphor for beauty and spirituality in his lyrical compositions.
During the era of the Ottoman Empire, which spanned from the 13th to the 20th centuries, the name Yasmany gained popularity among the ruling elite and aristocracy. It was seen as a symbol of refinement and elegance, reflecting the cultural appreciation for the jasmine flower in Ottoman art and architecture.
In the 18th century, a notable figure named Yasmany Al-Khalili emerged as a renowned scholar and philosopher in the city of Damascus. His works on ethics and moral philosophy garnered widespread recognition throughout the Islamic world, further elevating the prestige of the name.
As the Arabic language and culture spread across various regions, the name Yasmany also found its way into other cultures and languages. In the 19th century, a Spanish explorer named Yasmany Fernández embarked on expeditions to South America, leaving a lasting impact on the region's history and contributing to the name's global recognition.
Another significant figure bearing the name Yasmany was the Egyptian poet and writer Yasmany Abdel-Rahim, born in 1876. His poetic works, which celebrated the beauty of nature and the human spirit, were widely acclaimed and influential in the Arab literary world of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Throughout history, the name Yasmany has carried connotations of grace, beauty, and cultural richness, reflecting its origins in the poetic and artistic traditions of the Arab and Islamic worlds.

FAQ
Yasmany: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yasmany?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 10 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yasmany 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 34,275,434 US residents.
Is Yasmany a common name?
We classify Yasmany as "Very Rare". It ranks above 28.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 10 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Yasmany most popular?
The single biggest year for Yasmany was 2009, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yasmany is about 16 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Yasmany in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 602 people with the name Yasmany, or 0.20 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #18,028 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 Yasmany 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 Yasmany?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Yasmany leans strongly male. 594 people counted with this name were male (98.7%), compared with 8 female bearers (1.3%). 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 Yasmany?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Yasmany is Hispanic at 97.8%. The next largest groups are White (1.8%) and Black (0.2%). 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 Yasmany most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Yasmany in the 2020 Census, accounting for 97.8% (589 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 Yasmany in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yasmany a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yasmany 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 Yasmany still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yasmany 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 Yasmany 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.
