Census
Deandrea in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 2,078 people with the first name Deandrea, which placed it at #7,363 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.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Deandrea
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Deandrea is Black at 84.2%. The next largest groups are White (7.3%) and Hispanic (4.3%). 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 Deandrea 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 Deandrea at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Deandrea
The name Deandrea is a feminine given name that originates from the Italian language. It is a combination of the Italian words "Dea" meaning "goddess" and "Andrea" which is the Italian form of the Greek name "Andreas" meaning "man" or "warrior."
The name Deandrea likely emerged in Italy during the Renaissance period, a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing. It may have been inspired by the revival of classical Greek and Roman mythology and the celebration of feminine beauty and grace associated with goddesses.
While the name Deandrea does not have a direct historical reference in ancient texts or religious scriptures, its components "Dea" and "Andrea" have roots in classical antiquity. The word "Dea" comes from the Latin "Dea" meaning goddess, while "Andrea" is derived from the Greek name "Andreas" which was borne by several early Christian saints and martyrs.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Deandrea can be found in the 16th century Italian art world. Deandrea Bombelli, born in 1564, was a renowned Italian painter and engraver known for her exquisite religious artwork.
Another notable bearer of the name was Deandrea Santangelo, a 17th-century Italian composer and musician who gained recognition for her innovative compositions and performances.
In the 19th century, Deandrea Rossetti, born in 1828, was an acclaimed Italian poet and writer whose works celebrated the beauty and strength of women.
Deandrea Monteverdi, born in 1892, was a pioneering Italian archaeologist and historian who made significant contributions to the study of ancient Roman sites and artifacts.
In the 20th century, Deandrea Falcone, born in 1914, was a celebrated Italian fashion designer known for her elegant and timeless creations that graced the runways of Milan and Paris.

FAQ
Deandrea: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Deandrea?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 2,806 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Deandrea 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 122,151 US residents.
Is Deandrea a common name?
We classify Deandrea as "Rare". It ranks above 95% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 2,957 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Deandrea most popular?
The single biggest year for Deandrea was 1990, when 134 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Deandrea is about 36 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Deandrea in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 2,078 people with the name Deandrea, or 0.69 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #7,363 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 Deandrea 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 Deandrea?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Deandrea leans strongly female. 1,732 people counted with this name were female (83.3%), compared with 347 male bearers (16.7%). 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 Deandrea?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Deandrea is Black at 84.2%. The next largest groups are White (7.3%) and Hispanic (4.3%). 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 Deandrea most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Deandrea in the 2020 Census, accounting for 84.2% (1,749 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 Deandrea in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Deandrea a female name?
Yes, 75.5% of people registered as Deandrea 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 Deandrea still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Deandrea 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 Deandrea 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.
