Origin
Meaning and history of Almondo
The name Almondo is believed to have originated from the Spanish language, derived from the combination of the words "almo," meaning "soul," and "mundo," meaning "world." This name first emerged during the Renaissance period in Spain and parts of Italy.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Almondo dates back to the 15th century, when it was mentioned in a Spanish literary work by Juan de Mena, a renowned poet of the time. The name was also found in some historical records from the city of Florence, Italy, during the same period.
In the 16th century, Almondo Donato (1495-1567) was a notable Venetian diplomat and statesman who served as an ambassador for the Republic of Venice. His diplomatic efforts played a significant role in fostering relations between Venice and other European powers.
During the 17th century, Almondo Ricci (1609-1677) was an Italian Jesuit missionary and explorer who traveled extensively in China. He is credited with introducing Western scientific knowledge and methods to the Chinese elite, and his writings provided valuable insights into Chinese culture and society.
In the 18th century, Almondo Bertolucci (1725-1801) was an Italian architect and engineer who designed several notable buildings and structures in his homeland. One of his most famous works is the Palazzo Comunale in Guastalla, which is considered a fine example of Neoclassical architecture.
Moving into the 19th century, Almondo Carreras (1837-1889) was a Spanish operatic tenor who achieved international fame for his performances in operas by composers such as Verdi, Donizetti, and Bellini. He was particularly acclaimed for his interpretation of the role of Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor.
Another notable figure from this time period was Almondo Fraccaroli (1868-1945), an Italian sculptor and painter who was influenced by the Symbolist movement. His works often depicted mythological and allegorical themes, and he is renowned for his sculptural masterpieces, such as the "Fountain of the Four Rivers" in Rome.

FAQ
Almondo: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Almondo?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Almondo 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Almondo a common name?
We classify Almondo as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Almondo most popular?
The single biggest year for Almondo was 1971, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Almondo is about 50 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 Almondo in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Almondo a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Almondo 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 Almondo still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Almondo 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 Almondo 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.
