Origin
Meaning and history of Larreon
The given name Larreon is believed to have originated in the ancient Etruscan civilization of Italy, dating back to around the 7th century BCE. It is thought to have derived from the Etruscan root word "larr," which meant "guardian" or "protector." The name may have been initially used to honor deities or mythological figures associated with protection and guardianship.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Larreon can be found in an Etruscan inscription discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Veii, near modern-day Rome. The inscription, dating back to around 500 BCE, appears to mention a person named "Larreon" in the context of a religious ceremony or ritual.
During the height of the Roman Empire, the name Larreon seems to have gained some popularity among Roman citizens of Etruscan descent. However, it remained relatively obscure compared to more common Roman names of the time.
In the Middle Ages, the name Larreon resurfaced in various historical records, particularly in Italy and parts of the former Etruscan territories. One notable figure bearing this name was Larreon di Montepulciano, a 12th-century scholar and philosopher from the city of Montepulciano in Tuscany.
Another significant individual with the name Larreon was Larreon Barbarigo, a Venetian merchant and explorer who embarked on several trading expeditions to the eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea region in the late 14th century.
In the 16th century, a prominent Italian artist named Larreon Brancaleone gained recognition for his frescoes and religious paintings adorning several churches in Rome and the surrounding areas.
During the Renaissance period, the name Larreon enjoyed a modest revival, particularly among Italian aristocratic families with Etruscan roots. One notable figure was Larreon Farnese, a 17th-century nobleman and patron of the arts from the powerful Farnese family of Parma.
While the name Larreon has remained relatively uncommon throughout history, it has persisted as a unique and distinctive given name in various parts of Italy and other regions with historical ties to the Etruscan civilization.

FAQ
Larreon: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Larreon?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Larreon 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.
Is Larreon a common name?
We classify Larreon 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 Larreon most popular?
The single biggest year for Larreon was 2007, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Larreon is about 19 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 Larreon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Larreon a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Larreon 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 Larreon still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Larreon 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 Larreon 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.
