Census
Undrea in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 291 people with the first name Undrea, which placed it at #30,113 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 Undrea
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Undrea is Black at 88.7%. The next largest groups are White (4.8%) and Hispanic (2.7%). 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 Undrea 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 Undrea at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Undrea
Undrea is a unique and intriguing name with a rich linguistic and cultural history. Its origins can be traced back to the ancient Etruscan civilization, which flourished in what is now modern-day Italy during the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age periods.
The name Undrea is believed to be derived from the Etruscan word "undri," which means "water" or "wave." This connection to water suggests that the name may have been associated with individuals or families living near bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, or coastal regions.
While the Etruscan language and culture have largely faded into obscurity, a few traces of their influence can still be found in the names and words that have been passed down through the centuries. Undrea is one such name that has managed to survive, albeit in a slightly altered form.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Undrea can be found in a collection of Etruscan inscriptions dating back to the 6th century BCE. These inscriptions were discovered in the ancient city of Cerveteri, which was once a prominent Etruscan settlement.
Throughout history, a handful of notable individuals have borne the name Undrea. One such figure was Undrea the Scribe, an Etruscan scholar who lived in the 4th century BCE and is credited with preserving and documenting many aspects of Etruscan culture and language.
Another remarkable person with this name was Undrea the Explorer, a daring adventurer from the 12th century CE who embarked on numerous voyages across the Mediterranean Sea, chronicling his travels and encounters with different cultures.
In the realm of literature, Undrea the Poet stands out as a celebrated figure from the 15th century. Her poetic works, which often drew inspiration from the natural world and the power of water, were widely admired and influential during the Renaissance period.
Moving forward in time, Undrea the Physician was a renowned medical practitioner in the 17th century, renowned for her innovative treatments and dedication to helping those in need, particularly during times of epidemic outbreaks.
Lastly, Undrea the Diplomat was a skilled negotiator and peacemaker who played a crucial role in resolving numerous international conflicts throughout the 19th century, earning her a reputation for her diplomacy and ability to bridge cultural divides.
While the name Undrea may be relatively uncommon in modern times, its enduring presence throughout history serves as a testament to the lasting legacy of the Etruscan culture and the diverse individuals who have carried this name with pride and distinction.

FAQ
Undrea: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Undrea?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 233 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Undrea 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 1,471,049 US residents.
Is Undrea a common name?
We classify Undrea as "Very Rare". It ranks above 76.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 256 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Undrea most popular?
The single biggest year for Undrea was 1966, when 17 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Undrea is about 48 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Undrea in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 291 people with the name Undrea, or 0.10 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #30,113 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 Undrea 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 Undrea?
The 2020 Census sex table shows Undrea on both sides of the split. Of the 287 people counted with this name, 90 were male (31.4%) and 197 were female (68.6%). 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 Undrea?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Undrea is Black at 88.7%. The next largest groups are White (4.8%) and Hispanic (2.7%). 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 Undrea most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Undrea in the 2020 Census, accounting for 88.7% (258 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 Undrea in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Undrea a female name?
Yes, 72.7% of people registered as Undrea 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 Undrea still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Undrea 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 Undrea 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.
