Census
Tytianna in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 774 people with the first name Tytianna, which placed it at #14,994 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 Tytianna is Black at 91.9%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (4.0%) and Hispanic (2.3%).

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

Origin
Meaning and history of Tytianna
The name Tytianna has its origins in the ancient Greek language, derived from the name "Titania." In Greek mythology, Titania was the queen of the fairies and the wife of Oberon, the fairy king. This name is believed to have first appeared in literature during the late 16th century, particularly in Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," where the character Titania plays a central role.
The name Tytianna is a variant spelling of Titania, with the addition of the letters "y" and "n." This alteration may have occurred during the transition of the name from Greek to other languages or through various adaptations over time. While the exact origin of this particular spelling is unclear, it is thought to have emerged as a unique form of the original name.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Tytianna can be found in the 18th century. Tytianna Boisserie, born in 1725 in France, was a notable figure in the French Revolution. She was a revolutionary activist and played a role in the Women's March on Versailles in 1789, which is considered a pivotal event in the early stages of the revolution.
Another prominent figure with the name Tytianna was Tytianna Kovalevska, a Russian mathematician and writer who lived from 1850 to 1891. She made significant contributions to the field of mathematics, particularly in the areas of partial differential equations and mechanics. Kovalevska was also an advocate for women's rights and education.
In the 20th century, Tytianna Ricci, an Italian actress born in 1927, gained recognition for her roles in several Italian films. She appeared in notable productions such as "La Strada" (1954) and "Nights of Cabiria" (1957), both directed by the renowned filmmaker Federico Fellini.
Another figure named Tytianna is Tytianna Sokolova, a Russian-American ballet dancer who lived from 1908 to 1997. She was a prominent figure in the world of classical ballet and was known for her performances with the Ballets Russes, a prestigious ballet company founded by Sergei Diaghilev.
Lastly, Tytianna Greenwood, an American writer and activist born in 1962, is known for her work in promoting diversity and inclusion in literature. She has authored several books and has been an advocate for marginalized communities, particularly in the realm of children's literature.

FAQ
Tytianna: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tytianna?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1,015 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tytianna 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 337,689 US residents.
Is Tytianna a common name?
We classify Tytianna as "Rare". It ranks above 90.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 1,035 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tytianna most popular?
The single biggest year for Tytianna was 1999, when 69 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tytianna is about 24 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Tytianna in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 774 people with the name Tytianna, or 0.26 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #14,994 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 Tytianna 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 Tytianna?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Tytianna appears almost entirely female. Of the 777 people counted with this name, 100.0% 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 Tytianna?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Tytianna is Black at 91.9%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (4.0%) and Hispanic (2.3%). 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 Tytianna most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Tytianna in the 2020 Census, accounting for 91.9% (711 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 Tytianna in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tytianna a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Tytianna 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 Tytianna still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tytianna 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 Tytianna 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.
