Census
Lutricia in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 518 people with the first name Lutricia, which placed it at #20,076 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.

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Lutricia 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 Lutricia at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Lutricia
The name Lutricia is a unique and intriguing moniker with a rich and fascinating history that spans across various cultures and epochs. Its origins can be traced back to the ancient Etruscan civilization, which flourished in what is now modern-day Italy during the 8th to 3rd centuries BCE. Lutricia is believed to have derived from the Etruscan word "lutra," meaning "otter," suggesting a connection with nature and the animal kingdom.
One of the earliest known references to the name Lutricia can be found in a collection of Etruscan inscriptions dating back to the 5th century BCE. These inscriptions, discovered in the city of Cerveteri, provide valuable insights into the naming practices and cultural significance of names during that era. Lutricia was likely bestowed upon individuals with a deep reverence for the natural world and its inhabitants.
In the subsequent centuries, the name Lutricia underwent various transformations and adaptations as it spread across different regions and cultures. During the Roman era, it was occasionally used by noble families, although its popularity remained somewhat limited. One notable figure bearing this name was Lutricia Valeria, a Roman noblewoman who lived in the 2nd century CE and was known for her patronage of the arts and literature.
As the centuries passed, the name Lutricia resurfaced intermittently in various historical records and texts. In the 11th century, a Benedictine nun named Lutricia de Montfort was renowned for her piety and charitable works in the region of Normandy, France. Her dedication to helping the less fortunate earned her a reputation as a compassionate and selfless individual.
During the Renaissance period, the name Lutricia experienced a resurgence, particularly in Italy, where it was embraced by several artists and intellectuals. One such figure was Lutricia Beccadelli, a renowned painter who lived in Florence during the 15th century and was celebrated for her vibrant and captivating portraits of the city's elite.
In the 17th century, Lutricia Gonzaga, a member of the influential Gonzaga family of Mantua, Italy, gained recognition for her patronage of the arts and her support of various cultural endeavors. Her legacy as a patron of the arts and a lover of beauty has endured through the centuries.
As the world entered the modern era, the name Lutricia continued to be used, albeit in a more limited capacity. One notable figure was Lutricia Visconti, an Italian opera singer who achieved international acclaim in the late 19th century for her powerful and emotive performances on the operatic stage.
While the name Lutricia may not be as common in contemporary times, its rich history and diverse cultural influences make it a fascinating and unique choice, carrying with it a sense of mystery, beauty, and a connection to the natural world.

FAQ
Lutricia: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Lutricia?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 524 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Lutricia 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 654,111 US residents.
Is Lutricia a common name?
We classify Lutricia as "Very Rare". It ranks above 85% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 733 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Lutricia most popular?
The single biggest year for Lutricia was 1952, when 37 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Lutricia is about 65 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Lutricia in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 518 people with the name Lutricia, or 0.17 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #20,076 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 Lutricia 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 Lutricia?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Lutricia appears almost entirely female. Of the 522 people counted with this name, 99.0% 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 Lutricia?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Lutricia is Black at 72.6%. The next largest groups are White (22.0%) and Two or More Races (3.3%). 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 Lutricia most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Lutricia in the 2020 Census, accounting for 72.6% (376 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 Lutricia in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Lutricia a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Lutricia 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 Lutricia still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Lutricia 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 Lutricia 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.
