Census
Juventino in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 3,844 people with the first name Juventino, which placed it at #4,726 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 Juventino
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Juventino is Hispanic at 98.1%. The next largest groups are White (1.2%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (0.3%). 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 Juventino 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 Juventino at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Juventino
The given name Juventino originated from the Latin language and culture, with its roots tracing back to ancient Rome. It is derived from the Latin word "iuventus," which means "youth" or "young." The name carries connotations of vitality, energy, and the prime of life.
During the Roman era, the name Juventino was not widely used as a personal name. However, it gained popularity in later centuries, particularly in regions with strong Roman cultural influences, such as Italy and Spain. The earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in medieval Italian and Spanish documents, often referring to individuals from noble or prominent families.
One notable historical figure bearing the name Juventino was Juventino Rosas (1868-1894), a Mexican composer and violinist who made significant contributions to the development of Mexican folk music. His compositions, such as the famous waltz "Sobre las Olas" (Over the Waves), have become enduring classics in the Mexican musical tradition.
Another prominent individual named Juventino was Juventino Víctor Sassó (1909-1992), a Mexican architect and urban planner. He played a crucial role in shaping the modern cityscape of Mexico City through his innovative urban design projects, including the Periférico ring road and the Ruta de la Amistad (Friendship Route).
In the literary world, Juventino Arteaga (1810-1880) was a Mexican poet and playwright known for his contributions to the Romantic movement in Mexican literature. His plays and poems celebrated the beauty of nature and explored themes of love and patriotism.
Moving to the realm of sports, Juventino Balvín (1937-2000) was a Mexican professional baseball player who had a successful career in the Mexican League. He played for various teams, including the Diablos Rojos del México and the Tigres Capitalinos, and was renowned for his hitting abilities.
Lastly, Juventino Cortés (1943-2020) was a Mexican artist and sculptor known for his monumental public works. His sculptures, often crafted from metal and stone, adorned parks, plazas, and urban spaces throughout Mexico, reflecting his appreciation for indigenous and pre-Hispanic art forms.

FAQ
Juventino: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Juventino?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1,268 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Juventino 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 270,311 US residents.
Is Juventino a common name?
We classify Juventino as "Rare". It ranks above 91.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 1,558 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Juventino most popular?
The single biggest year for Juventino was 1991, when 30 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Juventino is about 40 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Juventino in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 3,844 people with the name Juventino, or 1.27 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #4,726 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 Juventino 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 Juventino?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Juventino appears almost entirely male. Of the 3,840 people counted with this name, 99.7% 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 Juventino?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Juventino is Hispanic at 98.1%. The next largest groups are White (1.2%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (0.3%). 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 Juventino most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Juventino in the 2020 Census, accounting for 98.1% (3,770 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 Juventino in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Juventino a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Juventino 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 Juventino still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Juventino 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 Juventino 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.
