Census
Estuardo in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 1,363 people with the first name Estuardo, which placed it at #9,962 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.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Estuardo
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Estuardo is Hispanic at 97.7%. The next largest groups are White (1.6%) and Two or More Races (0.4%).

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Estuardo 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 Estuardo at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Estuardo
The given name Estuardo is a Spanish form derived from the Old English name Edward, which itself comes from the Anglo-Saxon words "ead" meaning prosperity or fortune, and "weard" meaning guard or protector. The name gained widespread popularity across Europe during the Middle Ages, particularly in England where it was borne by several medieval kings.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Estuardo can be found in the chronicles of the Scottish royal house of Stuart, who ruled Scotland from the late 14th century until the Acts of Union in 1707. The Stuart dynasty traced its lineage back to a 12th-century nobleman named Walter fitzAlan, whose descendants anglicized their name to become the House of Stewart or Stuart.
Notable historical figures bearing the name Estuardo include King Edward I of England (1239-1307), known as Edward Longshanks, who conquered Wales and sought to unite the island of Great Britain under his rule. Another prominent figure was Edward III of England (1312-1377), whose reign saw the beginning of the Hundred Years' War with France and the founding of the Order of the Garter.
In Spain, one of the most famous bearers of the name was Estuardo de Guzmán (1536-1609), a Spanish noble and military commander who served as the 7th Viceroy of Naples and the 3rd Viceroy of Sicily during the latter part of the 16th century.
Another notable figure was Estuardo Maldonado (1924-2005), a Peruvian writer and poet who was a leading figure in the avant-garde literary movement of the 1960s and 1970s. His works, which often explored themes of identity and social injustice, earned him widespread acclaim throughout Latin America.
In the field of music, Estuardo Núñez (1924-2013) was a renowned Peruvian composer and conductor who played a pivotal role in the development of the country's classical music scene. He founded the National Conservatory of Music and served as the principal conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra of Peru for several decades.

FAQ
Estuardo: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Estuardo?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 487 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Estuardo 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 703,808 US residents.
Is Estuardo a common name?
We classify Estuardo as "Very Rare". It ranks above 84.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 495 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Estuardo most popular?
The single biggest year for Estuardo was 2009, when 25 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Estuardo is about 20 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Estuardo in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 1,363 people with the name Estuardo, or 0.45 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #9,962 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 Estuardo 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 Estuardo?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Estuardo appears almost entirely male. Of the 1,355 people counted with this name, 99.9% 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 Estuardo?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Estuardo is Hispanic at 97.7%. The next largest groups are White (1.6%) and Two or More Races (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 Estuardo most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Estuardo in the 2020 Census, accounting for 97.7% (1,331 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 Estuardo in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Estuardo a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Estuardo 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 Estuardo still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Estuardo 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 Estuardo 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.
