Census
Anterrio in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 120 people with the first name Anterrio, which placed it at #50,338 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 Anterrio
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Anterrio is Black at 95.0%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (1.7%) and American Indian/Alaska Native (1.7%). 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 Anterrio 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 Anterrio at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Anterrio
The name Anterrio has its origins in the ancient Etruscan civilization that flourished in what is now modern-day Italy. It is believed to be derived from the Etruscan word "antar," which means "between" or "within." This suggests that the name may have held a symbolic meaning related to balance, mediation, or inner harmony.
The earliest known record of the name Anterrio dates back to the 5th century BCE, when it was inscribed on an Etruscan funerary urn discovered in the city of Cerveteri. This archaeological find provides evidence that the name was in use among the Etruscan nobility and elite classes during that time period.
In the later centuries, as the Roman Empire expanded and absorbed Etruscan territories, the name Anterrio seems to have gained some popularity among Roman families with Etruscan roots or connections. However, it remained relatively rare and was overshadowed by more common Latin names.
One notable historical figure who bore the name Anterrio was a Roman senator and philosopher who lived in the 2nd century CE. He is mentioned in the writings of the historian Cassius Dio as a vocal critic of the excesses of the Emperor Commodus. Unfortunately, few other details about his life and work have survived.
During the Middle Ages, the name Anterrio all but disappeared from historical records, likely due to the decline of the Etruscan language and culture. It was not until the Renaissance period that the name experienced a modest revival among Italian scholars and humanists who had a particular interest in rediscovering and preserving the legacy of the Etruscans.
One such individual was Anterrio Albizzi, an Italian historian and antiquarian who lived in Florence during the 15th century. He authored several works on Etruscan history and culture, contributing to the preservation and study of this ancient civilization.
Another notable figure from this era was Anterrio Vitaliani, an Italian poet and playwright from Siena who lived in the late 16th century. His works, while not widely known today, were celebrated in his time for their lyrical elegance and insights into the human condition.
In the centuries that followed, the name Anterrio remained relatively obscure, appearing only occasionally in historical records or literary works. However, it has persisted as a unique and intriguing name choice, perhaps appealing to those with an appreciation for its ancient Etruscan roots and symbolic meaning.

FAQ
Anterrio: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Anterrio?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 113 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Anterrio 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 3,033,224 US residents.
Is Anterrio a common name?
We classify Anterrio as "Very Rare". It ranks above 66.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 116 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Anterrio most popular?
The single biggest year for Anterrio was 1984, when 11 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Anterrio is about 28 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Anterrio in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 120 people with the name Anterrio, or 0.04 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #50,338 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 Anterrio 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 Anterrio?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Anterrio appears almost entirely male. Of the 122 people counted with this name, 99.2% 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 Anterrio?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Anterrio is Black at 95.0%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (1.7%) and American Indian/Alaska Native (1.7%). 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 Anterrio most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Anterrio in the 2020 Census, accounting for 95.0% (114 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 Anterrio in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Anterrio a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Anterrio 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 Anterrio still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Anterrio 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 Anterrio 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.
