Origin
Meaning and history of Endie
The name Endie is believed to have originated from the Old English word "ende," which means "end" or "conclusion." This name first emerged in the Anglo-Saxon period, which spanned from the 5th to the 11th century AD. It was initially used as a descriptive name, perhaps referring to someone born at the end of a significant event or marking the end of a particular era.
Endie was a relatively uncommon name during the Middle Ages, but it gained some popularity in certain regions of England. One of the earliest recorded instances of this name can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, which was a comprehensive survey of landowners and property in England commissioned by William the Conqueror. The name appeared as "Endian," likely a variant spelling.
In the 13th century, a notable figure named Endie de Warwick was mentioned in the chronicles of the time. He was a monk and scholar known for his contributions to the study of theology and philosophy. Unfortunately, little is known about his life beyond these brief mentions in historical records.
During the Renaissance period, the name Endie appeared sporadically in various parts of Europe. In the late 16th century, an Italian painter named Endie Boccaccio achieved some recognition for his religious artwork commissioned by several churches in Rome and Florence. His works can still be found in some of the city's historic cathedrals.
In the 18th century, an English explorer and naturalist named Endie Wilkins embarked on several expeditions to the Americas and the Pacific islands. His detailed journals and observations of the flora and fauna he encountered contributed significantly to the field of natural history during that era.
Another notable individual with the name Endie was a French revolutionary and political activist named Endie Desmoulins, born in 1760. He played a crucial role in igniting the French Revolution through his fiery speeches and writings, earning him a place in the annals of history as one of the key figures of that turbulent period.
While not a common name in modern times, Endie has left its mark throughout history, appearing in various forms and carried by individuals who made their mark in diverse fields, from art and exploration to philosophy and revolutionary movements.

FAQ
Endie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Endie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Endie 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Endie a common name?
We classify Endie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 16 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Endie most popular?
The single biggest year for Endie was 1918, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Endie is about 7 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
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 Endie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Endie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Endie 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 Endie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Endie 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 Endie 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.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
