Albeiro in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 279 people with the first name Albeiro, which placed it at #30,942 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 Albeiro
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Albeiro is Hispanic at 98.6%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (0.7%) and White (0.4%). 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 Albeiro 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 Albeiro at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Albeiro
The name Albeiro is of Latin origin, derived from the combination of the Latin words "albus" meaning white, and "eiro" meaning heir or successor. It is believed to have first emerged in the Iberian Peninsula during the Roman occupation of the region in the 1st century AD.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Albeiro was a Roman soldier who served under the command of Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars in the 1st century BC. Historical records indicate that he was awarded the title of "Albeiro" for his bravery and leadership in battle.
In the 9th century AD, an influential Visigothic nobleman named Albeiro de Córdoba played a significant role in the defense of the Iberian Peninsula against the Moorish invasions. He is credited with establishing several fortifications and strategic outposts throughout the region.
During the Renaissance period, Albeiro Ferrero, an Italian humanist scholar and poet from Milan, gained recognition for his contributions to the revival of classical literature and philosophy. He lived from 1452 to 1518 and was a contemporary of renowned figures such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.
In the 17th century, Albeiro Velasco, a Spanish explorer and navigator, led several expeditions to the Americas, contributing to the exploration and mapping of the New World. He was born in Seville in 1587 and is known for his detailed accounts of the indigenous peoples and landscapes he encountered.
Another notable figure with the name Albeiro was Albeiro García, a Colombian artist and painter who lived from 1920 to 1998. He was renowned for his vibrant depictions of daily life and landscapes in his home country, capturing the essence of Colombian culture through his art.

FAQ
Albeiro: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Albeiro?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 146 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Albeiro 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 2,347,632 US residents.
Is Albeiro a common name?
We classify Albeiro as "Very Rare". It ranks above 69.9% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 147 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Albeiro most popular?
The single biggest year for Albeiro was 2009, when 29 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Albeiro is about 12 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Albeiro in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 279 people with the name Albeiro, or 0.09 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #30,942 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 Albeiro 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 Albeiro?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Albeiro appears almost entirely male. Of the 280 people counted with this name, 99.3% were male and only a very small share were female. 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 Albeiro?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Albeiro is Hispanic at 98.6%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (0.7%) and White (0.4%). 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 Albeiro most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Albeiro in the 2020 Census, accounting for 98.6% (275 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 Albeiro in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Albeiro a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Albeiro 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 Albeiro still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Albeiro 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 Albeiro 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.
