Edurdo in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 284 people with the first name Edurdo, which placed it at #30,583 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 Edurdo
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Edurdo is Hispanic at 93.0%. The next largest groups are White (4.2%) and Black (1.4%). 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 Edurdo 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 Edurdo at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Edurdo
The name Edurdo is a Spanish variant of the name Eduardo, which has its origins in the Old English name Eadweard. This name is composed of two elements: "ead" meaning "prosperous" or "wealthy" and "weard" meaning "guard" or "protector." Together, the name can be interpreted to mean "prosperous guardian" or "wealthy protector."
The name Edurdo emerged as a regional spelling variation of Eduardo in certain Spanish-speaking communities, likely due to local linguistic influences or preferences. While not as widely used as the standard Eduardo, it has been documented as a legitimate spelling of the name in various historical records.
One of the earliest recorded bearers of the name Edurdo was Edurdo de Castilla, a Spanish nobleman and military leader who lived in the 13th century. He played a significant role in the Reconquista, the medieval campaign to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Moorish rule.
Another notable figure with this name was Edurdo Gonzalez, a renowned Spanish poet and playwright of the 16th century. His works, which included plays and sonnets, were widely acclaimed during the Spanish Golden Age of literature.
In the 18th century, Edurdo Malaspina, an Italian-born Spanish explorer and navigator, made significant contributions to the field of cartography. He led several expeditions to the Pacific Ocean, mapping and documenting various islands and coastal regions.
The name Edurdo also appeared in religious contexts. Edurdo López, a Spanish priest and missionary in the 17th century, was known for his efforts in evangelizing and establishing missions in the New World colonies.
Lastly, Edurdo Fernández, a Mexican artist and muralist active in the early 20th century, gained recognition for his vibrant and socially conscious murals depicting the lives and struggles of the working class.
While not as prevalent as other spellings of the name, Edurdo has left its mark throughout history, carried by individuals who have made notable contributions in various fields, from military and literature to exploration and art.

FAQ
Edurdo: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Edurdo?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 6 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Edurdo 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 57,125,723 US residents.
Is Edurdo a common name?
We classify Edurdo as "Very Rare". It ranks above 22.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 6 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Edurdo most popular?
The single biggest year for Edurdo was 1985, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Edurdo is about 39 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Edurdo in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 284 people with the name Edurdo, or 0.09 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #30,583 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 Edurdo 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 Edurdo?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Edurdo leans strongly male. 283 people counted with this name were male (98.6%), compared with 4 female bearers (1.4%). 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 Edurdo?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Edurdo is Hispanic at 93.0%. The next largest groups are White (4.2%) and Black (1.4%). 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 Edurdo most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Edurdo in the 2020 Census, accounting for 93.0% (264 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 Edurdo in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Edurdo a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Edurdo 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 Edurdo still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Edurdo 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 Edurdo 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.
