Census
Diandre in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 508 people with the first name Diandre, which placed it at #20,360 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 Diandre
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Diandre is Black at 73.6%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (13.6%) and Two or More Races (7.3%). 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 Diandre 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 Diandre at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Diandre
The name Diandre has its origins in ancient Greek language and culture, dating back to the 5th century BC. It is derived from the Greek words "dios," meaning divine or heavenly, and "andros," meaning man or male. The name can be interpreted to mean "divine man" or "heavenly male."
In the classical Greek tradition, Diandre was a name bestowed upon individuals who were believed to possess exceptional qualities or divine attributes. It was often associated with heroic figures, poets, and philosophers who made significant contributions to Greek society and culture.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Diandre can be found in the writings of the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, who mentioned a Spartan warrior bearing this name during the Greco-Persian Wars in the 5th century BC. However, the details surrounding this individual are scarce.
Throughout history, several notable figures have borne the name Diandre. One such individual was Diandre of Crete, a renowned sculptor who lived in the 3rd century BC. His works were celebrated for their intricate details and lifelike depictions of the human form.
In the 1st century AD, Diandre of Alexandria was a renowned mathematician and astronomer who made significant contributions to the understanding of celestial mechanics and the movements of heavenly bodies.
During the Byzantine era, Diandre Palaiologos was a prominent military commander who played a crucial role in defending Constantinople against Ottoman invaders in the 15th century.
Another notable figure was Diandre Della Robbia, an Italian Renaissance sculptor and ceramist who lived in the 15th century. He was renowned for his innovative use of glazed terracotta in creating vibrant and lifelike sculptures.
In the 18th century, Diandre Voltaire was a French writer, philosopher, and advocate for freedom of expression. His works, such as "Candide" and "Philosophical Letters," challenged the established norms of his time and championed ideals of reason, liberty, and tolerance.

FAQ
Diandre: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Diandre?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 571 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Diandre 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 600,270 US residents.
Is Diandre a common name?
We classify Diandre as "Very Rare". It ranks above 85.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 587 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Diandre most popular?
The single biggest year for Diandre was 1993, when 42 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Diandre is about 30 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Diandre in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 508 people with the name Diandre, or 0.17 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #20,360 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 Diandre 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 Diandre?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Diandre leans strongly male. 453 people counted with this name were male (88.5%), compared with 59 female bearers (11.5%). 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 Diandre?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Diandre is Black at 73.6%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (13.6%) and Two or More Races (7.3%). 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 Diandre most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Diandre in the 2020 Census, accounting for 73.6% (374 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 Diandre in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Diandre a male name?
Yes, 97.4% of people registered as Diandre 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 Diandre still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Diandre 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 Diandre 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.
