Yoandry in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 312 people with the first name Yoandry, which placed it at #28,685 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.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Yoandry
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Yoandry is Hispanic at 93.6%. The next largest groups are White (2.6%) and Black (2.6%). 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 Yoandry 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 Yoandry at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Yoandry
The name Yoandry appears to be of Spanish or Latin American origin, likely derived from the combination of the Spanish names "Yohanna" and "Andrés". Its roots can be traced back to the late 20th century, possibly originating in regions with a strong Spanish linguistic influence, such as parts of the Caribbean or Central and South America.
The first part of the name, "Yo", could be a variation of the Hebrew name "Yohanna", which means "graced by God". The second part, "andry", seems to be derived from the Greek name "Andrés", meaning "manly" or "brave". However, the precise etymology and the reason behind the blending of these two names remain uncertain.
Historical records of the use of Yoandry as a first name are scarce, and it does not appear to have been prominently featured in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or notable historical documents. The earliest documented instances of the name Yoandry are relatively recent, likely emerging within the past few decades.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the first name Yoandry is Yoandry Urgellés, a Cuban baseball player born in 1990. He played professionally in the Cuban National Series and represented the Cuban national team in international competitions.
Another notable figure with the name Yoandry is Yoandry Orozco, a Venezuelan actor and model born in 1990. He has appeared in several telenovelas and television series, gaining recognition in Latin American entertainment circles.
In the field of athletics, Yoandry Ramírez, a Cuban long jumper born in 1987, has achieved international success. He won a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics and has represented Cuba in multiple World Championships and Pan American Games.
Yoandry Quintana, a Colombian boxer born in 1985, is another individual who has carried this name. He competed in the featherweight division and participated in various professional boxing tournaments throughout his career.
Lastly, Yoandry Muñoz, a Cuban artist and painter born in 1981, has gained recognition for his unique artistic style and exhibitions showcasing his works. His paintings often explore themes of Cuban culture and identity.
It's important to note that while these individuals have achieved recognition in their respective fields, the name Yoandry remains relatively uncommon and its historical origins and significance are not widely documented.

FAQ
Yoandry: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yoandry?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 49 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yoandry 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 6,994,986 US residents.
Is Yoandry a common name?
We classify Yoandry as "Very Rare". It ranks above 54% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 49 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Yoandry most popular?
The single biggest year for Yoandry was 2016, when 19 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yoandry is about 11 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Yoandry in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 312 people with the name Yoandry, or 0.10 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #28,685 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 Yoandry 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 Yoandry?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Yoandry leans strongly male. 296 people counted with this name were male (96.1%), compared with 12 female bearers (3.9%). 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 Yoandry?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Yoandry is Hispanic at 93.6%. The next largest groups are White (2.6%) and Black (2.6%). 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 Yoandry most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Yoandry in the 2020 Census, accounting for 93.6% (292 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 Yoandry in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yoandry a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yoandry 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 Yoandry still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yoandry 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 Yoandry 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.
