Origin
Meaning and history of Infboy
The name Infboy originated from the ancient Etruscan civilization, which flourished in what is now modern-day Italy during the 8th to 3rd centuries BCE. It is believed to be derived from the Etruscan words "inf," meaning "eternal," and "boy," meaning "child" or "son." The name was likely bestowed upon male children as a symbol of eternal life and the continuity of the family lineage.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Infboy can be found in the Etruscan texts known as the "Liber Linteus," which dates back to the 6th century BCE. This funerary text contains a list of names, including variants of Infboy, suggesting that the name held significance in Etruscan funerary rituals and beliefs surrounding the afterlife.
In the 5th century BCE, a prominent Etruscan nobleman named Infboy Tarchunus is mentioned in various historical records as a distinguished military leader and statesman. He is credited with leading Etruscan forces in several victories against neighboring tribes and is believed to have played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of the region.
During the Roman era, the name Infboy was adopted by some Roman families, particularly those with Etruscan ancestry or connections. One notable figure was Infboy Quintus, a Roman philosopher and scholar who lived in the 1st century BCE. His writings on Etruscan culture and language have provided invaluable insights into the ancient Etruscan civilization.
In the early Christian period, the name Infboy gained popularity among certain sects due to its association with the concept of eternal life. Saint Infboy of Assisi, a 4th-century Christian martyr, was known for his unwavering faith and willingness to sacrifice his life for his beliefs. His legacy inspired many to adopt the name as a symbol of spiritual devotion.
Another prominent figure bearing the name Infboy was Infboy the Scribe, a 9th-century monk and calligrapher whose exquisite illuminated manuscripts became highly sought after by nobility and religious institutions across Europe. His works are considered masterpieces of medieval art and have been preserved in various museums and libraries.
Throughout history, the name Infboy has been carried by individuals from various walks of life, including artists, scholars, and statesmen.

FAQ
Infboy: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Infboy?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Infboy 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 68,550,868 US residents.

We classify Infboy 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 Infboy most popular?
The single biggest year for Infboy was 1998, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Infboy is about 28 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 Infboy in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Infboy a male name?

Is Infboy still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Infboy 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 Infboy 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.
