Origin
Meaning and history of Franciscojr
The name Franciscojr is a Spanish name derived from the Latin name Franciscus, which means "Frenchman" or "free man". The name Franciscus was originally a nickname given to people from France or of French descent.
The name Franciscus became popular in the Christian tradition due to St. Francis of Assisi, the Italian Catholic friar and preacher who lived from 1181 to 1226. St. Francis of Assisi was the founder of the Franciscan Order and is known for his love of nature and his commitment to a life of poverty and simplicity.
One of the earliest recorded examples of the name Franciscojr can be found in the Spanish explorer and conquistador Francisco Pizarro, who lived from 1478 to 1541.

FAQ
Franciscojr: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Franciscojr?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Franciscojr going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables.

We classify Franciscojr as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Franciscojr most popular?
The single biggest year for Franciscojr was 2003, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Franciscojr is about 23 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
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 Franciscojr in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Franciscojr a male name?

Is Franciscojr still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Franciscojr 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 Franciscojr 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.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
