Census
Anndrea in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 562 people with the first name Anndrea, which placed it at #19,009 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 Anndrea
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Anndrea is White at 54.8%. The next largest groups are Black (23.3%) and Hispanic (14.8%). 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 Anndrea 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 Anndrea at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Anndrea
The name Anndrea has its origins in the Latin language and culture, with roots that can be traced back to ancient Roman times. It is derived from the Latin name Andreas, which itself comes from the Greek name Andreas, meaning "manly" or "brave." The name Andreas was later adopted into Latin as a masculine form.
In early Christianity, the name Andreas was borne by several notable figures, including the apostle Andrew, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ. The name gained popularity among early Christians and was widely used across the Roman Empire and its territories.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Anndrea can be found in the writings of the 4th-century Christian writer and historian Eusebius of Caesarea, who mentioned a woman named Anndrea among the martyrs of the early church.
Throughout the medieval period, the name Anndrea remained in use, particularly in regions with strong Latin and Christian influences. One notable bearer of the name was Anndrea Zitolo, an Italian painter and sculptor who lived in the 15th century and was known for his work in the Gothic and Renaissance styles.
During the Renaissance, the name Anndrea gained further prominence, particularly in Italy. One of the most famous individuals with this name was Anndrea del Sarto, an Italian painter and artist who lived from 1486 to 1530 and was renowned for his religious and mythological works.
In the 16th century, the name Anndrea was also borne by Anndrea Palladio, an influential Italian architect who was a pioneer of the Renaissance architectural style. His works, such as the Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza and the Villa Rotonda near Venice, had a lasting impact on the development of Western architecture.
Another notable figure with the name Anndrea was Anndrea Gabrieli, an Italian composer and organist who lived from 1533 to 1585. He was a prominent figure in the Venetian School of composers and was known for his innovative choral and instrumental works.
As the name spread beyond its Latin and Italian roots, it was also adopted in other cultures and languages. One example is Anndrea Gritti, a Venetian merchant and statesman who served as the Doge of Venice from 1523 to 1538, playing a significant role in the political and economic affairs of the Venetian Republic.

FAQ
Anndrea: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Anndrea?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 598 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Anndrea 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 573,168 US residents.
Is Anndrea a common name?
We classify Anndrea as "Very Rare". It ranks above 86.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 629 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Anndrea most popular?
The single biggest year for Anndrea was 1992, when 24 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Anndrea is about 35 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Anndrea in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 562 people with the name Anndrea, or 0.19 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #19,009 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 Anndrea 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 Anndrea?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Anndrea appears almost entirely female. Of the 561 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 Anndrea?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Anndrea is White at 54.8%. The next largest groups are Black (23.3%) and Hispanic (14.8%). 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 Anndrea most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Anndrea in the 2020 Census, accounting for 54.8% (308 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 Anndrea in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Anndrea a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Anndrea 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 Anndrea still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Anndrea 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 Anndrea 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.
