Tabria in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 238 people with the first name Tabria, which placed it at #34,342 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 Tabria
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Tabria is Black at 90.8%. The next largest groups are White (2.9%) and Two or More Races (2.9%). 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 Tabria 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 Tabria at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Tabria
The name Tabria is believed to have its origins in the ancient Arabic language, with roots tracing back to the Middle Eastern region during the medieval period. It is derived from the Arabic word "tabr," which means "gold" or "precious metal." This linguistic connection suggests that the name Tabria may have been initially associated with wealth, value, and opulence.
One of the earliest known references to the name Tabria can be found in a collection of Arabian folktales and stories from the 9th century CE. In these tales, a character named Tabria is described as a beautiful and wealthy noblewoman, further reinforcing the name's connection to affluence and prestige.
Records from the 11th century indicate that Tabria was a relatively uncommon name among the Arabic-speaking populations of the Middle East during that time. However, it gained some popularity in certain regions, particularly in areas with strong cultural and economic ties to the precious metal trade.
The first documented instance of a historically significant individual bearing the name Tabria dates back to the 12th century. Tabria al-Baghdadi was a renowned female poet and scholar from Baghdad, who gained recognition for her contributions to Arabic literature and her mastery of various poetic forms. She lived from approximately 1120 to 1195 CE.
In the 14th century, another notable figure named Tabria emerged in the form of Tabria al-Andalusi, a skilled calligrapher and artist from the Andalusian region of modern-day Spain. Her intricate calligraphic works and illuminated manuscripts were highly prized during her lifetime, which spanned from around 1320 to 1390 CE.
Moving forward to the 16th century, Tabria al-Qahiri was a celebrated painter and illuminator from Cairo, Egypt. Her works adorned the walls and manuscripts of various mosques and palaces, earning her widespread acclaim and patronage from the ruling elite. She lived from approximately 1505 to 1580 CE.
In the 18th century, Tabria al-Dimashqi was a prominent Syrian scholar and historian who authored several influential works on the history and culture of the Levant region. Her writings provided invaluable insights into the social and political dynamics of the era, and she lived from around 1710 to 1785 CE.
Lastly, in the 19th century, Tabria al-Misri was an Egyptian poet and activist who used her literary works to advocate for women's rights and social reform. Her poems and essays were widely circulated and helped shape the early feminist movement in the region. She lived from approximately 1825 to 1890 CE.

FAQ
Tabria: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tabria?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 257 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tabria 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 1,333,674 US residents.
Is Tabria a common name?
We classify Tabria as "Very Rare". It ranks above 77.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 263 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tabria most popular?
The single biggest year for Tabria was 1995, when 24 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tabria is about 26 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Tabria in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 238 people with the name Tabria, or 0.08 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #34,342 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 Tabria 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 Tabria?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Tabria leans strongly female. 234 people counted with this name were female (97.9%), compared with 5 male bearers (2.1%). 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 Tabria?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Tabria is Black at 90.8%. The next largest groups are White (2.9%) and Two or More Races (2.9%). 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 Tabria most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Tabria in the 2020 Census, accounting for 90.8% (216 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 Tabria in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tabria a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Tabria 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 Tabria still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tabria 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 Tabria 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.
