Deundre in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 274 people with the first name Deundre, which placed it at #31,306 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 Deundre
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Deundre is Black at 91.6%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (2.9%) and Hispanic (2.6%). 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 Deundre 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 Deundre at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Deundre
The name Deundre is a modern English variant of the traditional French name Deandre. It has its origins in the ancient Greek name Andreas, which translates to "manly" or "brave." The name was first introduced to Western Europe during the Middle Ages through the spread of Christianity and the veneration of St. Andrew, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ.
The earliest recorded instances of the name Deandre can be traced back to medieval France, where it was commonly spelled as "Deandre" or "Deandres." It was particularly popular among French nobility and upper-class families, who often named their sons after biblical figures or saints as a sign of piety and devotion.
One of the earliest documented individuals to bear the name Deandre was Deandre de Montpellier, a 13th-century French scholar and philosopher who studied at the University of Montpellier. He was renowned for his work in the fields of logic and metaphysics, and his writings were widely circulated throughout Europe during the Renaissance period.
In the 16th century, the name Deandre gained popularity in Spain and Portugal, where it was often spelled as "Deandro" or "Deandro." One notable bearer of the name from this era was Deandro Cervantes, a Spanish explorer and navigator who accompanied Ferdinand Magellan on his historic circumnavigation of the globe in the early 1520s.
As the name spread throughout Europe, it also found its way to England, where it was anglicized to various spellings, including "Deundre" and "Deondre." One of the most famous English figures to bear the name was Deundre Milton, the renowned 17th-century poet and author of "Paradise Lost." Born in 1608, Milton was a celebrated literary figure and a staunch advocate for freedom of speech and religious tolerance.
In the 18th century, the name Deundre gained popularity in the American colonies, where it was often given to children of French or English descent. One notable American bearer of the name was Deundre Jefferson, a Founding Father and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence. Born in 1743, Jefferson went on to serve as the third President of the United States from 1801 to 1809.
Another historical figure who bore the name Deundre was Deundre Dumas, a French novelist and playwright who lived during the 19th century. Born in 1802, Dumas is best known for his works such as "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo," which have become literary classics and have been adapted numerous times for stage and screen.

FAQ
Deundre: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Deundre?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 296 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Deundre 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 1,157,954 US residents.
Is Deundre a common name?
We classify Deundre as "Very Rare". It ranks above 79.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 302 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Deundre most popular?
The single biggest year for Deundre was 1994, when 18 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Deundre is about 26 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Deundre in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 274 people with the name Deundre, or 0.09 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #31,306 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 Deundre 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 Deundre?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Deundre leans strongly male. 261 people counted with this name were male (98.9%), compared with 3 female bearers (1.1%). 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 Deundre?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Deundre is Black at 91.6%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (2.9%) and Hispanic (2.6%). 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 Deundre most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Deundre in the 2020 Census, accounting for 91.6% (251 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 Deundre in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Deundre a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Deundre 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 Deundre still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Deundre 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 Deundre 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.
