Deandrew in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 247 people with the first name Deandrew, which placed it at #33,475 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 Deandrew
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Deandrew is Black at 79.8%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (8.5%) and Two or More Races (4.0%). 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 Deandrew 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 Deandrew at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Deandrew
The name Deandrew is a modern invented name that combines the names Dean and Andrew. It does not have a cultural or linguistic origin from a specific region or time period. Rather, it was likely created in recent decades by parents seeking a unique name for their child.
The name Dean has roots in the English language, derived from the medieval English surname "Dene" which referred to a valley. It was also used as a title for a church official or leader. Some notable historical figures named Dean include writer Dean Acheson (1893-1971) and actor Dean Martin (1917-1995).
Andrew, on the other hand, has Greek origins and means "manly" or "brave". It was a popular name among early Christians, inspired by the apostle Andrew, who was one of the first disciples of Jesus Christ. Famous Andrews throughout history include Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), the 7th President of the United States, and Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919), the industrialist and philanthropist.
By combining these two names, Deandrew creates a unique and modern-sounding name. However, it does not appear to have any significant historical references or notable individuals who bore this name prior to its recent invention.
Without extensive historical records or cultural significance, it is difficult to provide a detailed etymology or lineage for the name Deandrew. Its origins likely stem from the creative choices of modern parents seeking a distinctive name for their child, rather than a deep-rooted cultural tradition or historical context.

FAQ
Deandrew: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Deandrew?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 303 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Deandrew 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 1,131,202 US residents.
Is Deandrew a common name?
We classify Deandrew as "Very Rare". It ranks above 79.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 310 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Deandrew most popular?
The single biggest year for Deandrew was 1989, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Deandrew is about 27 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Deandrew in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 247 people with the name Deandrew, or 0.08 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #33,475 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 Deandrew 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 Deandrew?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Deandrew leans strongly male. 241 people counted with this name were male (98.0%), compared with 5 female bearers (2.0%). 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 Deandrew?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Deandrew is Black at 79.8%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (8.5%) and Two or More Races (4.0%). 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 Deandrew most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Deandrew in the 2020 Census, accounting for 79.8% (197 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 Deandrew in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Deandrew a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Deandrew in the SSA data are male. 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 Deandrew still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Deandrew 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 Deandrew 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.
