Origin
Meaning and history of Adino
The name Adino is believed to have originated from the Hebrew language and culture. It is derived from the Hebrew word "Adin," which means "delicate" or "slender." The earliest recorded use of the name dates back to the Bible, where it appears in the Book of Chronicles.
In 2 Samuel 23:8 and 1 Chronicles 11:11, there is a mention of a man named Adino the Eznite, who was one of David's mighty warriors. He is described as the chief of the captains and is said to have slain eight hundred men on one occasion. This biblical reference suggests that the name Adino was in use during the time of King David, around the 10th century BCE.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the name Adino. One of the earliest recorded was Adino, a Christian martyr who was executed during the Diocletian persecution in the early 4th century CE. Another notable figure was Adino Talevi, an Italian rabbi and philosopher who lived in the 16th century and wrote extensively on Jewish law and theology.
In more recent times, Adino Edwards was a Welsh rugby union player who represented Wales in the early 20th century, playing in the iconic rugby match against the New Zealand All Blacks in 1905. Adino Callaway was an American businessman and co-founder of the Callaway Golf Company, a leading manufacturer of golf equipment.
Another prominent figure was Adino Mitra, an Indian politician and activist who played a significant role in the Indian independence movement. He was a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi and served as the President of the Indian National Congress in 1927.
While the name Adino may not be as common today as it once was, its rich historical roots and biblical associations have contributed to its enduring appeal and significance across various cultures and time periods.

FAQ
Adino: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Adino?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 15 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Adino 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 22,850,289 US residents.
Is Adino a common name?
We classify Adino as "Very Rare". It ranks above 35.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 15 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Adino most popular?
The single biggest year for Adino was 2024, when 10 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Adino is about 3 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
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 Adino in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Adino a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Adino 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 Adino still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Adino 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 Adino 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.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
