Census
Estanislao in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 1,148 people with the first name Estanislao, which placed it at #11,275 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.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Estanislao is Hispanic at 89.5%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (8.5%) and White (0.8%). 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 Estanislao 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 Estanislao at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Estanislao
The name Estanislao has its origins in the Polish language and culture. It is derived from the Slavic words "stanu" meaning "to stand" and "slawa" meaning "glory" or "fame." The name can be translated to mean "one who attains glory" or "one who stands with glory."
The name gained widespread popularity in the 11th century, particularly after the life of St. Stanislaus, the Bishop of Krakow, who was martyred in 1079. His canonization and the subsequent spread of his cult throughout Europe contributed significantly to the dissemination of the name.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the medieval Latin text "Vita Sancti Stanislai," which chronicles the life and martyrdom of St. Stanislaus. The text, written in the 12th century, played a crucial role in establishing the name's significance in Christian tradition.
Throughout history, several notable figures have borne the name Estanislao. One of the most prominent was Estanislao I (1030-1079), the Duke of Poland, who reigned during the 11th century and played a pivotal role in the country's political and religious development.
Another notable bearer of the name was Estanislao Zobiã³n (1752-1821), a Polish composer and conductor who composed numerous operas and instrumental works during the Classical era.
In the realm of literature, Estanislao del Campo (1834-1880) was an Argentine poet and journalist who is widely regarded as one of the founders of the gauchesque literary tradition, which celebrated the culture and lifestyle of the gauchos, the skilled horsemen of the Argentine pampas.
The name also found its way into the arts, with Estanislao Trías (1908-1995), a renowned Cuban painter and sculptor whose works captured the essence of the Caribbean and its vibrant cultures.
Finally, Estanislao Basora (1926-2021) was a prominent Spanish architect who played a significant role in shaping the modern architectural landscape of Barcelona through his innovative and avant-garde designs.

FAQ
Estanislao: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Estanislao?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 128 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Estanislao 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 2,677,768 US residents.
Is Estanislao a common name?
We classify Estanislao as "Very Rare". It ranks above 68.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 199 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Estanislao most popular?
The single biggest year for Estanislao was 1928, when 11 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Estanislao is about 43 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Estanislao in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 1,148 people with the name Estanislao, or 0.38 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #11,275 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 Estanislao 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 Estanislao?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Estanislao appears almost entirely male. Of the 1,145 people counted with this name, 99.3% 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 Estanislao?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Estanislao is Hispanic at 89.5%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (8.5%) and White (0.8%). 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 Estanislao most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Estanislao in the 2020 Census, accounting for 89.5% (1,028 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 Estanislao in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Estanislao a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Estanislao 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 Estanislao still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Estanislao 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 Estanislao 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.
