Origin
Meaning and history of Ebaristo
The given name Ebaristo is of Greek origin, derived from the Greek word "ebariston," which means "very blessed" or "most fortunate." It is a masculine name that dates back to ancient Greece and has been recorded in various historical texts and records.
In ancient Greek mythology, Ebaristo was a name associated with the goddess of fortune and prosperity, Tyche. It was believed that bestowing this name upon a child would bring them good luck and blessings throughout their lives.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Ebaristo can be found in the writings of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who lived from 428 BC to 348 BC. Plato mentioned an individual named Ebaristo in his work "The Republic," which is considered one of the most influential works in Western philosophy.
During the Byzantine Empire, which lasted from the 4th to the 15th century AD, the name Ebaristo was quite popular among the Greek population. Several notable figures from this era bore this name, including Ebaristo Scholastikos, a prominent Byzantine scholar and writer who lived in the 6th century AD.
In the 12th century, a renowned Byzantine poet and philosopher named Ebaristo Produktos gained recognition for his literary works and philosophical treatises. He is often cited as one of the most influential thinkers of the Comnenian Renaissance.
Another notable figure with the name Ebaristo was Ebaristo Rhodios, a Greek explorer and navigator who lived in the 3rd century BC. He is credited with leading several expeditions to the Indian Ocean and contributing to the development of early cartography and navigation techniques.
In more recent history, Ebaristo Theofanis was a Greek painter and artist who lived from 1784 to 1847. He is renowned for his religious paintings and frescoes, many of which can be found in churches and monasteries throughout Greece.
While the name Ebaristo may not be as common today as it once was, it remains a part of the rich cultural heritage of Greece and serves as a reminder of the country's ancient roots and traditions.

FAQ
Ebaristo: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Ebaristo?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Ebaristo 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 Ebaristo a common name?
We classify Ebaristo 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 Ebaristo most popular?
The single biggest year for Ebaristo was 1980, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Ebaristo is about 43 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 Ebaristo in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Ebaristo a male name?

Is Ebaristo still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Ebaristo 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 Ebaristo 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.
