Census
Mallarie in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 206 people with the first name Mallarie, which placed it at #37,688 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 Mallarie
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Mallarie is White at 73.3%. The next largest groups are Black (10.7%) and Hispanic (9.7%). 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 Mallarie 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 Mallarie at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Mallarie
The given name Mallarie originated from the Latin name Malloria, which was derived from the word "malleus," meaning "hammer" or "mallet." This name was initially used in ancient Rome and was associated with the blacksmith trade or those who worked with hammers and mallets.
In the early Middle Ages, the name Malloria evolved into different variations, including Mallarie, Mallory, and Malorie. These versions were commonly found in regions of Europe, including France, England, and parts of Germany.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Mallarie can be traced back to the 12th century, when it appeared in a French manuscript detailing the lives of various saints and religious figures. However, the name did not gain widespread popularity until the 13th and 14th centuries.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Mallarie. One of the earliest known was Mallarie de Montfort, a French noblewoman born in 1215, who was renowned for her charitable works and involvement in the local community.
In the 15th century, Mallarie de Valois (1435-1492), a member of the French royal family, gained recognition for her artistic patronage and support of the arts during the Renaissance period.
During the Renaissance, an Italian painter named Mallarie Veneziano (1490-1545) gained acclaim for her vibrant portraits and religious works, which adorned many churches and noble households across Italy.
In the 17th century, Mallarie Descartes (1620-1678), a French philosopher and mathematician, made significant contributions to the field of philosophy, particularly with her work on Cartesian dualism and the nature of reality.
Another notable figure was Mallarie Curie (1867-1934), a Polish-born physicist and chemist, who was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person to win the Nobel Prize twice, for her groundbreaking work on radioactivity.
While the name Mallarie has undergone various spellings and adaptations over the centuries, it has maintained a strong connection to its Latin roots and has been borne by individuals from diverse backgrounds and professions throughout history.

FAQ
Mallarie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Mallarie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 203 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Mallarie 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 1,688,445 US residents.
Is Mallarie a common name?
We classify Mallarie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 74.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 209 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Mallarie most popular?
The single biggest year for Mallarie was 1987, when 13 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Mallarie is about 27 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Mallarie in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 206 people with the name Mallarie, or 0.07 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #37,688 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 Mallarie 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 Mallarie?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Mallarie appears almost entirely female. Of the 204 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 Mallarie?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Mallarie is White at 73.3%. The next largest groups are Black (10.7%) and Hispanic (9.7%). 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 Mallarie most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Mallarie in the 2020 Census, accounting for 73.3% (151 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 Mallarie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Mallarie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Mallarie 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 Mallarie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Mallarie 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 Mallarie 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.
