How old the living Arias are

born that year still alive today

Of the 96,373 babies given the name since 1900, about 96,000 are alive — 99 in every hundred. Roughly 90,000 of them are children and 50 are 65 or over. The dotted line is the median: half were born before 2018 and half after.

An estimate, not a count. SSA births aged forward through SSA cohort life tables, which know nothing about who left the country or arrived in it — so for a name that mostly came to America rather than being born in it, this is a floor rather than a figure. Where you fall among living Americans.

Aria elsewhere

Counts come from each country's own records and are not comparable with the US figures above, which cover different years and a different definition of a recorded name. Where a country writes the name several ways, the spellings are added together and the most common is shown. A row marked name registrations is counting something else: Portugal ranks each of a child's two given names separately, so a girl registered Maria Leonor is in both the Maria row and the Leonor row, and that figure is not a number of children.

Aria: births by region

Parts of a country counted above, not extra births. The share is what makes the regions comparable: they differ in size by a factor of three hundred.

By canton, Aria is most concentrated in Aargau, where 0.07% of children were given it – 94 of them.

Aria: rank by region

In 2025, Aria was given 5 times or more in 3 regions of Belgium.

In 2024, Aria was among the 10 most common names in 1 region of Italy.

In 2025, Aria was given 2 times or more in 11 regions of Poland.

In 2025, with the country taken in 11 areas rather than 3, Aria appears in the lists for Province of Luxembourg (16th), Province of Liège (34th), Province of Namur (42nd), Province of Hainaut (43rd), Brussels-Capital Region (85th), Province of Antwerp (243rd) and Province of East Flanders (250th).

Each of these is the top of a list the statistics office cut off somewhere – Belgium below 5 children, Italy after 10 names, Poland below 2 children – and published nothing after. So a region missing here is one where the name fell outside what was published, not one where it went unused. Places are shared where names tie, and the further down a list a place is, the more names can share it.

Aria by city

One city over a few years, so these are much smaller numbers than the national ones above and not comparable with them.

Aria among the living

How many people each country's register counts under the name, rather than how many were given it in any one year. Each register was read on one date, and they are not the same date.

A count of people on a register – Finland on 4 August 2026 – and not of births, so it cannot be compared with the figures above. Names with very few bearers are withheld, and a dash in the first-forename column means the register would not say rather than that nobody goes by it.

Where Aria lives in Spain

Not a count of births but of people: 184 men called Aria and 2,064 women called Aria were living in Spain on 1 January 2025, of every age, born in any year. Where they live is not spread evenly.

Men: the provinces where it is densest

Listed in 4 of Spain's 52 provinces. In the other 48 it is either held by fewer than 5 people – the point below which the source withholds a name – or it fell past the 5,000 names the source will print for one province. Neither means nobody there is called it. The rate is the source's own, not a share worked out here.

Women: the provinces where it is densest

Listed in 47 of Spain's 52 provinces. In the other 5 it is either held by fewer than 5 people – the point below which the source withholds a name – or it fell past the 5,000 names the source will print for one province. Neither means nobody there is called it. The rate is the source's own, not a share worked out here.
