Dayrin in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 280 people with the first name Dayrin, which placed it at #30,870 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 Dayrin is Hispanic at 95.7%. The next largest groups are White (2.5%) and Black (1.4%). 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 Dayrin 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 Dayrin at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Dayrin
The name Dayrin has its roots in the ancient Aramaic language, which was widely spoken in the Middle East during the first millennium BCE. The name is believed to have originated from the Aramaic word "darin," which means "to dwell" or "to reside." This suggests that the name Dayrin may have initially been associated with concepts of home, residence, or a sense of belonging.
The earliest known record of the name Dayrin can be traced back to the 5th century BCE, where it appears in a collection of Aramaic inscriptions found in the ancient city of Palmyra, located in modern-day Syria. These inscriptions were carved into stone monuments and served as memorials or dedications, indicating that the name was in use during that time period.
In the 3rd century BCE, a notable figure named Dayrin ben Azariah was mentioned in the Talmud, a central text of Rabbinic Judaism. He was a prominent sage and scholar who lived in ancient Judea and contributed to the development of Jewish law and tradition. This reference suggests that the name Dayrin was also used within Jewish communities during the Hellenistic era.
During the Byzantine period, a Christian martyr named Dayrin of Antioch was recorded in the 4th century CE. According to historical accounts, he was persecuted and executed for his religious beliefs in the city of Antioch, which was part of the Eastern Roman Empire at the time. The inclusion of his name in early Christian martyrologies indicates that the name Dayrin was present in the region and among Christian communities.
In the 9th century CE, a Persian astronomer and mathematician named Dayrin al-Khazini made significant contributions to the field of mechanics and the study of gravitational forces. He is renowned for his work on the hydrostatic balance and the development of theories related to the motion of objects in fluids.
Another notable figure with the name Dayrin was a 13th-century Kurdish poet and mystic known as Dayrin al-Din al-Kurdi. He was born in the city of Erbil, which is now located in modern-day Iraq, and his poetic works were influential in the spread of Sufism and Islamic spirituality throughout the region.
It is worth noting that while the name Dayrin has its origins in the ancient Aramaic language and was prevalent in the Middle East during various historical periods, its usage and popularity may have varied across different cultures and regions over time.

FAQ
Dayrin: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Dayrin?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 208 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Dayrin 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 1,647,857 US residents.
Is Dayrin a common name?
We classify Dayrin as "Very Rare". It ranks above 74.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 210 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Dayrin most popular?
The single biggest year for Dayrin was 2004, when 28 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Dayrin is about 15 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Dayrin in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 280 people with the name Dayrin, or 0.09 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #30,870 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 Dayrin 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 Dayrin?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Dayrin leans strongly female. 257 people counted with this name were female (91.5%), compared with 24 male bearers (8.5%). 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 Dayrin?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Dayrin is Hispanic at 95.7%. The next largest groups are White (2.5%) and Black (1.4%). 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 Dayrin most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Dayrin in the 2020 Census, accounting for 95.7% (268 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 Dayrin in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Dayrin a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Dayrin 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 Dayrin still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Dayrin 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 Dayrin 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.
