Jatziri in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 338 people with the first name Jatziri, which placed it at #27,177 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.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Jatziri
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jatziri is Hispanic at 98.8%. The next largest groups are White (1.2%). 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 Jatziri 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 Jatziri at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Jatziri
The name Jatziri has its origins in the Nahuatl language, spoken by the Aztec people of central Mexico. It is believed to have emerged in the late 15th century, during the height of the Aztec Empire. The name is derived from the Nahuatl words "xochitl" meaning flower and "tziri" meaning precious or revered.
While the exact origins of the name are somewhat obscure, it is thought to have been used to refer to a beautiful or beloved woman, akin to a precious flower. The name does not appear to have any direct historical references in ancient texts or religious scriptures from the Aztec culture.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Jatziri can be traced back to the 16th century, shortly after the Spanish conquest of Mexico. However, it remained relatively obscure until more recent times, likely due to the suppression of indigenous languages and cultures during the colonial period.
One of the earliest notable individuals with the name Jatziri was Jatziri Sandoval, a Mexican poet and activist born in 1945. She was known for her works that explored themes of indigenous identity and women's rights.
Another famous bearer of the name was Jatziri Ramírez, a Mexican actress born in 1981, who appeared in several popular telenovelas and films.
In the world of sports, Jatziri Martínez was a Mexican soccer player who represented her country in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Jatziri Alonso, born in 1975, is a renowned Mexican artist whose works often incorporate elements of traditional Aztec symbolism and motifs.
Finally, Jatziri Venegas, born in 1989, is a Mexican singer and songwriter who has gained popularity for her fusion of traditional Mexican music with contemporary genres.
While not as common as some other names, Jatziri has maintained a presence throughout Mexican history, serving as a connection to the rich cultural heritage of the Aztec people and the enduring influence of the Nahuatl language.

FAQ
Jatziri: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jatziri?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 473 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jatziri 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 724,639 US residents.
Is Jatziri a common name?
We classify Jatziri as "Very Rare". It ranks above 84% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 477 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jatziri most popular?
The single biggest year for Jatziri was 2022, when 34 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jatziri is about 12 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Jatziri in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 338 people with the name Jatziri, or 0.11 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #27,177 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 Jatziri 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 Jatziri?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Jatziri appears almost entirely female. Of the 339 people counted with this name, 99.7% 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 Jatziri?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Jatziri is Hispanic at 98.8%. The next largest groups are White (1.2%). 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 Jatziri most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Jatziri in the 2020 Census, accounting for 98.8% (334 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 Jatziri in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jatziri a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jatziri 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 Jatziri still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jatziri 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 Jatziri 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.
