Origin
Meaning and history of Ladereon
The name Ladereon has its roots in the ancient Etruscan civilization that flourished in what is now modern-day Italy. It is believed to have originated from the Etruscan word "ladero," which means "to guide" or "to lead." This suggests that the name may have been given to individuals who were regarded as leaders or guides within their community.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Ladereon can be found in an inscription on a funerary urn from the 5th century BC. This urn was discovered in the Etruscan necropolis of Cerveteri, located near modern-day Rome. The inscription indicates that the urn belonged to a man named Ladereon, who may have held a position of importance within the Etruscan society.
During the Roman period, the name Ladereon was occasionally adopted by Roman families with Etruscan roots. However, its usage remained relatively rare, and it did not gain widespread popularity across the Roman Empire.
In the Middle Ages, the name Ladereon resurfaced in certain regions of Italy, particularly in the northern regions that had been influenced by Etruscan culture. One notable figure who bore this name was Ladereon da Verona, a renowned physician and scholar who lived in the 13th century. His writings on medical practices and natural philosophy were highly regarded during his lifetime and contributed to the advancement of knowledge in those fields.
Another individual of historical significance was Ladereon Fiorentino, a skilled architect and engineer from Florence who lived in the 15th century. He is credited with designing several notable buildings and structures in the city, including the Palazzo Fiorentino, which still stands today as a testament to his architectural prowess.
In the realm of literature, Ladereon Petrarca was a celebrated poet and humanist from the 14th century. His works, which often explored themes of love, nature, and the human condition, were influential in shaping the Renaissance literary movement in Italy.
Despite its ancient origins and occasional appearances throughout history, the name Ladereon has remained relatively obscure and uncommon. It is not widely used in modern times, though it may still be found in certain regions of Italy, particularly those with strong ties to Etruscan heritage and culture.

FAQ
Ladereon: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Ladereon?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 7 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Ladereon 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 48,964,905 US residents.
Is Ladereon a common name?
We classify Ladereon as "Very Rare". It ranks above 23.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 7 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Ladereon most popular?
The single biggest year for Ladereon was 2009, when 7 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Ladereon is about 17 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 Ladereon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Ladereon a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Ladereon 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 Ladereon still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Ladereon 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 Ladereon 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.
