Census
Elianny in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 717 people with the first name Elianny, which placed it at #15,898 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 Elianny
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Elianny is Hispanic at 95.4%. The next largest groups are White (2.6%) and Black (1.8%). 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 Elianny 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 Elianny at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Elianny
The name Elianny is a relatively modern amalgamation of two popular names, Eli and Annie. Its origins can be traced back to the Hebrew name Eli, which means "my God" or "ascension." This name has its roots in the Old Testament, where it was borne by a high priest of Israel. The name Eli is also found in various other cultural contexts, such as the Arabic name Ali, derived from the same Semitic root.
The second part of the name, Annie, is a diminutive form of the name Ann or Anne, which has its origins in the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning "grace" or "favor." This name has been popular across various cultures and time periods, and has been associated with several notable figures throughout history.
While the name Elianny itself does not have a long historical record, its component parts have been present in various forms for centuries. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Eli can be found in the biblical Book of Samuel, where it refers to a high priest of Shiloh. The name Annie, on the other hand, can be traced back to the Middle Ages, where it was a popular name among European nobility.
In terms of notable figures bearing these names, one can mention Eli Whitney (1765-1825), the American inventor best known for the cotton gin. Another notable Eli is the American author Eli Wiesel (1928-2016), a Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. On the Annie side, one can mention Annie Oakley (1860-1926), the famous American sharpshooter and exhibition shooter, and Annie Leibovitz (born 1949), the renowned American portrait photographer.
Other historical figures with these component names include Annie Besant (1847-1933), a British theosophist and women's rights activist, and Eli Lilly (1838-1898), the American pharmaceutical chemist and businessman who founded the Eli Lilly and Company.
While the name Elianny itself may not have a long and storied history, its component parts have been borne by several notable individuals across various fields, contributing to its modern appeal and cultural significance.

FAQ
Elianny: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Elianny?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 893 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Elianny 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 383,823 US residents.
Is Elianny a common name?
We classify Elianny as "Very Rare". It ranks above 89.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 899 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Elianny most popular?
The single biggest year for Elianny was 2024, when 134 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Elianny is about 8 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Elianny in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 717 people with the name Elianny, or 0.24 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #15,898 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 Elianny 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 Elianny?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Elianny appears almost entirely female. Of the 711 people counted with this name, 99.9% were female and only a very small share were male. 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 Elianny?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Elianny is Hispanic at 95.4%. The next largest groups are White (2.6%) and Black (1.8%). 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 Elianny most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Elianny in the 2020 Census, accounting for 95.4% (684 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 Elianny in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Elianny a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Elianny 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 Elianny still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Elianny 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 Elianny 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.
