Census
Arisbeth in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 768 people with the first name Arisbeth, which placed it at #15,091 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 Arisbeth
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Arisbeth is Hispanic at 98.4%. The next largest groups are White (0.7%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (0.4%). 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 Arisbeth 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 Arisbeth at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Arisbeth
The name Arisbeth has its origins in a blend of Greek and Latin roots. The first part of the name, "Aris," is derived from the Greek word "aristos," meaning "best" or "excellent." The latter part, "beth," comes from the Latin "betus," which means "blessed."
This combination of roots suggests that the name Arisbeth was initially intended to convey the idea of an "excellent blessing" or someone who was considered a fortunate or blessed individual. The name likely emerged during the Byzantine era, when Greek and Latin cultures were intertwined in the eastern Mediterranean region.
One of the earliest recorded references to the name Arisbeth can be found in a 9th-century manuscript from the Monastery of St. Catherine in the Sinai Peninsula. This document mentions an Arisbeth who was a nun living in the monastery during that time period. However, details about her life and accomplishments are scarce.
In the 12th century, an Arisbeth was mentioned in the chronicles of the Knights Templar, a Catholic military order during the Crusades. This Arisbeth was a noblewoman who donated land and resources to the Templars, supporting their efforts in the Holy Land.
During the Renaissance period, an Italian artist named Arisbeth da Vinci, born in 1458, gained recognition for her intricate tapestries and embroidery work. Her pieces were commissioned by wealthy patrons across Europe, and several examples of her work can still be found in museums today.
In the 18th century, Arisbeth Cartwright, born in 1725, was a British inventor and engineer. She is credited with developing an early version of the power loom, which revolutionized the textile industry. Cartwright's innovations paved the way for the Industrial Revolution and mass production of clothing.
Another notable figure with the name Arisbeth was Arisbeth Sánchez, a Cuban revolutionary born in 1892. She played a crucial role in the Cuban War of Independence against Spanish colonial rule, providing medical assistance and supplies to rebel forces. Sánchez was recognized for her bravery and dedication to the cause of Cuban independence.
While the name Arisbeth may not be as common today as it once was, its rich history and origins highlight its significance as a name that conveyed a sense of excellence, blessedness, and the potential for great accomplishments.

FAQ
Arisbeth: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Arisbeth?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1,696 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Arisbeth 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 202,096 US residents.
Is Arisbeth a common name?
We classify Arisbeth as "Rare". It ranks above 93% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 1,711 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Arisbeth most popular?
The single biggest year for Arisbeth was 2024, when 261 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Arisbeth is about 9 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Arisbeth in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 768 people with the name Arisbeth, or 0.25 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #15,091 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 Arisbeth 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 Arisbeth?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Arisbeth appears almost entirely female. Of the 772 people counted with this name, 99.4% 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 Arisbeth?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Arisbeth is Hispanic at 98.4%. The next largest groups are White (0.7%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (0.4%). 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 Arisbeth most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Arisbeth in the 2020 Census, accounting for 98.4% (756 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 Arisbeth in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Arisbeth a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Arisbeth 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 Arisbeth still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Arisbeth 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 Arisbeth 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.
