Census
Eusebio in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 5,815 people with the first name Eusebio, which placed it at #3,550 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 Eusebio
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Eusebio is Hispanic at 91.6%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (4.6%) and White (2.3%). 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 Eusebio 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 Eusebio at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Eusebio
The name Eusebio has its roots in ancient Greek culture, originating from the Greek word "eusebios", which means "pious" or "reverent". This name was commonly used in the Byzantine Empire and the Greek-speaking regions of the Mediterranean during the early Christian era.
Eusebio gained significant recognition in the 4th century, thanks to Eusebius of Caesarea, a prominent Christian historian and scholar. He is best known for his work "Ecclesiastical History", which chronicled the early development of Christianity. Eusebius of Caesarea lived from around 260 AD to 340 AD and is considered one of the most influential figures of the early Christian Church.
Another notable figure with the name Eusebio was Eusebius of Nicomedia, a powerful Bishop who lived from around 260 AD to 342 AD. He played a significant role in the Arian controversy, a theological dispute that divided the early Christian Church over the nature of the relationship between God the Father and God the Son.
In the 5th century, Eusebio of Vercelli was a prominent figure who lived from around 283 AD to 371 AD. He was a bishop and theologian known for his ascetic lifestyle and his efforts to combat the Arian heresy.
During the Renaissance period, the name Eusebio gained popularity among scholars and intellectuals. One notable figure was Eusebio Chisesi, an Italian humanist and scholar who lived from around 1440 to 1511. He was known for his translations of ancient Greek texts and his contributions to the study of classical literature.
In the 16th century, Eusebio Da Pavia was an Italian painter and architect who lived from around 1500 to 1572. He is best known for his work on the Cathedral of Milan and his contributions to the Renaissance architectural style.
These are just a few examples of notable historical figures who bore the name Eusebio. The name has had a lasting influence, particularly in the Christian tradition, and continues to be used in various cultures around the world.

FAQ
Eusebio: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Eusebio?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 2,045 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Eusebio 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 167,606 US residents.
Is Eusebio a common name?
We classify Eusebio as "Rare". It ranks above 93.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 3,059 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Eusebio most popular?
The single biggest year for Eusebio was 1945, when 47 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Eusebio is about 47 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Eusebio in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 5,815 people with the name Eusebio, or 1.93 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #3,550 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 Eusebio 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 Eusebio?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Eusebio appears almost entirely male. Of the 5,807 people counted with this name, 99.6% 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 Eusebio?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Eusebio is Hispanic at 91.6%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (4.6%) and White (2.3%). 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 Eusebio most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Eusebio in the 2020 Census, accounting for 91.6% (5,328 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 Eusebio in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Eusebio a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Eusebio 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 Eusebio still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Eusebio 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 Eusebio 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.
