Origin
Meaning and history of Coderro
The name Coderro has its origins in the ancient Aramaic language, spoken by the Arameans who inhabited parts of the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East during the first millennium BC. It is believed to be derived from the Aramaic word "kuddara," which means "to be strong" or "to be powerful."
The earliest recorded instance of the name Coderro can be found in an ancient Aramaic inscription dating back to the 7th century BC, which was discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Palmyra, located in present-day Syria. This inscription mentions a man named "Coderro ben Shammua," suggesting that the name was in use among the Aramean population of the region at that time.
In the 3rd century AD, the name Coderro appears in the writings of the Christian theologian and philosopher Origen, who mentions a man by this name in his work "Contra Celsum." This suggests that the name may have been used by early Christian communities in the Middle East.
One of the most notable historical figures with the name Coderro was a 5th-century Byzantine general who served under Emperor Theodosius II. Coderro led the Byzantine armies in several successful campaigns against the Huns and other invaders, earning him a reputation as a skilled military commander.
Another famous bearer of the name Coderro was a 9th-century Arab poet and scholar from Baghdad. He was renowned for his mastery of the Arabic language and his contributions to the field of literature during the Islamic Golden Age.
In the 12th century, a man named Coderro was a prominent merchant and trader in the city of Venice, Italy. He played a significant role in establishing trade routes between Europe and the Middle East, facilitating the exchange of goods and ideas between the two regions.
During the Renaissance period, a Italian artist named Coderro di Firenze (1435-1498) gained recognition for his skillful paintings and frescoes adorning churches and palaces across Italy. His works were highly praised for their attention to detail and vibrant colors.
In the 18th century, a French explorer named Coderro Laplace (1712-1779) embarked on several expeditions to the Americas, contributing to the expansion of geographical knowledge and the mapping of previously unexplored territories.

FAQ
Coderro: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Coderro?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Coderro 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 Coderro a common name?
We classify Coderro 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 Coderro most popular?
The single biggest year for Coderro was 1987, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Coderro is about 38 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 Coderro in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Coderro a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Coderro 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 Coderro still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Coderro 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 Coderro 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.
