Census
Eberardo in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 518 people with the first name Eberardo, which placed it at #20,076 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.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Eberardo
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Eberardo is Hispanic at 98.3%. The next largest groups are White (1.0%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (0.4%). 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 Eberardo 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 Eberardo at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Eberardo
The name Eberardo has its origins in the Germanic languages, specifically in the Old High German period (c. 750 to 1050 CE). It is derived from the elements "ebar" meaning "boar" and "hard" meaning "brave" or "hardy". The name was initially associated with the Germanic tribes inhabiting regions of modern-day Germany, Austria, and parts of Switzerland during the Early Middle Ages.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name dates back to the 9th century, when an Eberardo is mentioned in the Codex Diplomaticus, a collection of historical documents from the Monastery of St. Gallen in Switzerland. In the 10th century, an Eberardo is also recorded as a nobleman in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, a significant compilation of sources on German medieval history.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Eberardo. One of the most famous was Eberardo I, Count of Württemberg, who lived from around 1060 to 1108. He was a prominent feudal lord and is considered the founder of the House of Württemberg, one of the most influential noble families in medieval Germany.
Another historical figure with this name was Eberardo di Greiffenklau, born around 1420 and died in 1497. He was a German prelate who served as the Archbishop of Trier from 1456 until his death, making him one of the Prince-Electors of the Holy Roman Empire during that period.
In the realm of literature, Eberardo was the name of a character in the 16th-century epic poem "Orlando Furioso" by the Italian poet Ludovico Ariosto (1474-1533). The character, a knight, played a significant role in the narrative.
Moving forward in time, Eberardo Fert was an Italian mathematician who lived from 1610 to 1692. He is known for his contributions to the study of algebraic curves and for his work on the theory of equations.
Finally, Eberardo Zardini (1789-1853) was an Italian painter and engraver from the Romantic period. He was particularly renowned for his landscape paintings and etchings depicting scenes from the Italian countryside.
While the name Eberardo has fallen out of widespread use in modern times, it remains a part of the cultural heritage and history of the Germanic and Italian regions, having been borne by numerous individuals of note throughout the centuries.

FAQ
Eberardo: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Eberardo?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 418 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Eberardo 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 819,986 US residents.
Is Eberardo a common name?
We classify Eberardo as "Very Rare". It ranks above 82.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 436 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Eberardo most popular?
The single biggest year for Eberardo was 1998, when 18 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Eberardo is about 30 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Eberardo in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 518 people with the name Eberardo, or 0.17 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #20,076 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 Eberardo 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 Eberardo?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Eberardo appears almost entirely male. Of the 517 people counted with this name, 100.0% 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 Eberardo?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Eberardo is Hispanic at 98.3%. The next largest groups are White (1.0%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (0.4%). 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 Eberardo most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Eberardo in the 2020 Census, accounting for 98.3% (509 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 Eberardo in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Eberardo a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Eberardo 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 Eberardo still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Eberardo 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 Eberardo 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.
