Taevion in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 340 people with the first name Taevion, which placed it at #27,081 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.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Taevion is Black at 76.8%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (14.4%) and White (3.5%). 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 Taevion 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 Taevion at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Taevion
The name Taevion is a modern variation of the traditional English name Tavion, which is believed to have its origins in the Old English language and the Anglo-Saxon culture. The name Tavion is thought to be derived from the Old English words "tæfian" or "tæfle," meaning "to play with dice" or "gambler," respectively.
While the exact origins of the name Taevion are uncertain, it is likely a more recent adaptation or spelling variation of the original Tavion. The addition of the letter "e" in Taevion may have been influenced by other popular names or cultural trends in name selection. However, no definitive records of the name's earliest usage or specific cultural influences have been widely documented.
There are no known historical references or appearances of the name Taevion in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or significant historical records. This suggests that the name is a modern invention or adaptation, possibly within the last few centuries or even more recently.
Due to the name's relative novelty, there are limited records of famous individuals bearing the first name Taevion throughout history. However, here are a few notable people with the similar name Tavion:
1. Tavion Smoot (born 1997), an American football player who played defensive back for the University of Michigan.
2. Tavion Thomas (born 1999), an American football player who currently plays running back for the University of Utah.
3. Tavion Frazier (born 2001), an American basketball player who currently plays for the University of North Carolina.
4. Tavion Weeks (born 1994), an American football player who played wide receiver for the University of Southern Mississippi.
5. Tavion Parker (born 1995), an American football player who played defensive back for the University of Houston.
It is worth noting that the name Taevion, while relatively uncommon, may have gained some popularity in recent years as a unique variation or modern adaptation of the more traditional Tavion. However, due to its novelty, detailed historical records or widespread usage of the name Taevion are limited.

FAQ
Taevion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Taevion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 539 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Taevion 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 635,908 US residents.
Is Taevion a common name?
We classify Taevion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 85.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 544 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Taevion most popular?
The single biggest year for Taevion was 2009, when 45 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Taevion is about 15 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Taevion in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 340 people with the name Taevion, or 0.11 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #27,081 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 Taevion 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 Taevion?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Taevion leans strongly male. 330 people counted with this name were male (98.8%), compared with 4 female bearers (1.2%). 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 Taevion?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Taevion is Black at 76.8%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (14.4%) and White (3.5%). 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 Taevion most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Taevion in the 2020 Census, accounting for 76.8% (261 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 Taevion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Taevion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Taevion in the SSA data are male. 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 Taevion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Taevion 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 Taevion 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.
