Origin
Meaning and history of Cordarro
The name Cordarro is believed to have originated from the Latin word "cordatus," which means "courageous" or "brave-hearted." This suggests that the name may have been derived from an ancient Roman culture, potentially dating back to the Roman Empire period (27 BC - 476 AD).
While there is limited historical evidence of the exact origin and usage of the name Cordarro in ancient times, it is possible that it was used as a given name or a nickname to honor individuals who displayed acts of bravery or courage. However, no specific references to the name have been found in any known ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records from that era.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Cordarro can be traced back to the late 15th century, with a few notable individuals bearing this name. One such individual was Cordarro Bianchi, an Italian painter and sculptor who lived from 1460 to 1520. He was known for his intricate woodcarvings and frescoes adorning churches in Florence and Rome.
Another notable figure was Cordarro Vespucci, an Italian navigator and explorer who lived from 1483 to 1541. He accompanied several expeditions to the Americas and is credited with contributing to the mapping and exploration of the coastlines of modern-day Brazil and Venezuela.
In the 17th century, Cordarro Monteverdi (1567-1643) was an Italian composer, string player, and pioneer of the Baroque era. He is renowned for his revolutionary work in developing the genre of opera and is considered one of the most influential figures in the transition from Renaissance to Baroque music.

In more recent times, Cordarro Lazzaro (1923-2001) was an Italian-American sculptor and artist known for his large-scale public installations and abstract metal sculptures.

FAQ
Cordarro: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Cordarro?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 102 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Cordarro 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 3,360,337 US residents.
Is Cordarro a common name?
We classify Cordarro as "Very Rare". It ranks above 64.9% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 105 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Cordarro most popular?
The single biggest year for Cordarro was 1987, when 32 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Cordarro is about 34 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 Cordarro in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Cordarro a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Cordarro 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 Cordarro still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Cordarro 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 Cordarro 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.
