Annarose in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 881 people with the first name Annarose, which placed it at #13,631 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 Annarose
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Annarose is White at 67.4%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (10.1%) and Hispanic (9.6%). 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 Annarose 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 Annarose at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Annarose
The name Annarose is a combination of two names, Anna and Rose, both of which have rich histories and meanings. The name Anna is derived from the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning "grace" or "favor." It has been a popular name for centuries, appearing in various forms across different cultures and languages.
The name Rose, on the other hand, is of Latin origin and is derived from the name of the famous flower. The rose has long been a symbol of beauty, love, and purity, and the name has been used as a given name for centuries.
The earliest recorded use of the name Anna dates back to the New Testament, where it is mentioned as the name of a prophetess in the book of Luke. In the 4th century, Saint Anna became a popular figure in the Christian tradition, and her name gained widespread popularity.
The name Rose has its roots in ancient Roman mythology, where it was associated with the goddess Venus. It was also a popular name among the aristocracy in medieval Europe, and many noblewomen bore the name.
While the combination of Anna and Rose into the name Annarose is relatively modern, there have been notable historical figures who bore these names separately. One of the earliest recorded examples of the name Anna was Anna Comnena, a Byzantine princess and historian who lived from 1083 to 1153.
Another famous bearer of the name Anna was Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII of England, who lived from 1501 to 1536. Her tragic life and execution have been the subject of numerous historical accounts and works of literature.
As for the name Rose, one of the most famous historical figures was Rose of Lima, a Spanish colonial saint who lived in Peru from 1586 to 1617. She is the patron saint of Peru and has been revered for her piety and charitable works.
Another notable bearer of the name Rose was Rose Bertin, a French fashion designer who lived from 1747 to 1813. She was the official dressmaker to Queen Marie Antoinette and is credited with revolutionizing French fashion in the late 18th century.
Finally, Rose Kennedy, the matriarch of the Kennedy family, lived from 1890 to 1995. She was the mother of President John F. Kennedy and played a significant role in shaping the political dynasty of the Kennedy family.
While the combination of Annarose is relatively modern, it carries the rich histories and meanings of both Anna and Rose, representing grace, beauty, and strength.

FAQ
Annarose: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Annarose?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 666 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Annarose 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 514,646 US residents.
Is Annarose a common name?
We classify Annarose as "Very Rare". It ranks above 87.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 749 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Annarose most popular?
The single biggest year for Annarose was 2017, when 30 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Annarose 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 Annarose in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 881 people with the name Annarose, or 0.29 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #13,631 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 Annarose 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 Annarose?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Annarose appears almost entirely female. Of the 880 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 Annarose?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Annarose is White at 67.4%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (10.1%) and Hispanic (9.6%). 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 Annarose most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Annarose in the 2020 Census, accounting for 67.4% (594 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 Annarose in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Annarose a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Annarose 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 Annarose still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Annarose 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 Annarose 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.
