Census
Yuridia in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 3,474 people with the first name Yuridia, which placed it at #5,069 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.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Yuridia
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Yuridia is Hispanic at 98.9%. The next largest groups are White (0.7%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (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 Yuridia 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 Yuridia at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Yuridia
The name Yuridia is of Spanish origin and is a feminine name derived from the Greek name Euridice, which means "she who is widely just" or "broad justice." The name Euridice has its roots in Greek mythology, where it was the name of the wife of the legendary musician Orpheus.
In Greek mythology, Orpheus was a skilled musician whose music could charm even rocks and trees. When his wife Euridice died from a snake bite, Orpheus traveled to the underworld to bring her back to the land of the living. His music so enchanted Hades, the ruler of the underworld, that Hades agreed to allow Euridice to return with Orpheus, on the condition that Orpheus not look back at her until they had reached the surface.
The earliest recorded use of the name Yuridia can be traced back to the 16th century in Spain, where it was a variation of the Greek name Euridice. It is believed that the name was brought to Spain by Greek scholars and philosophers during the Renaissance period.
One of the earliest notable individuals with the name Yuridia was Yuridia de la Cruz, a Spanish nun who lived in the 17th century. She was known for her piety and devotion to the Catholic faith.
Another famous Yuridia was Yuridia Valverde, a Mexican singer and songwriter born in 1986. She rose to fame after winning the reality singing competition La Academia in 2005 and has since released several successful albums.
In the field of literature, there was Yuridia Coronado, a Mexican poet and writer of the 20th century. She was a prominent figure in the Mexican literary scene and was known for her works that explored themes of love, loss, and the human experience.
Yuridia Galván was a Mexican actress and dancer who lived in the early 20th century. She was a pioneer of Mexican cinema and theater and was known for her performances in various stage productions and films.
Finally, Yuridia Jaramillo was a Colombian painter and sculptor who lived in the late 20th century. Her works were widely acclaimed and exhibited in galleries across Colombia and other parts of Latin America.

FAQ
Yuridia: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yuridia?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 2,543 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yuridia 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 134,783 US residents.
Is Yuridia a common name?
We classify Yuridia as "Rare". It ranks above 94.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 2,591 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Yuridia most popular?
The single biggest year for Yuridia was 2006, when 296 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yuridia is about 21 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Yuridia in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 3,474 people with the name Yuridia, or 1.15 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #5,069 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 Yuridia 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 Yuridia?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Yuridia appears almost entirely female. Of the 3,480 people counted with this name, 99.7% 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 Yuridia?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Yuridia is Hispanic at 98.9%. The next largest groups are White (0.7%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (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 Yuridia most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Yuridia in the 2020 Census, accounting for 98.9% (3,437 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 Yuridia in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yuridia a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yuridia 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 Yuridia still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yuridia 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 Yuridia 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.
