Origin
Meaning and history of Laterrion
The name Laterrion is an ancient one, with origins dating back to the Etruscan civilization of Italy in the 6th century BC. It is believed to have derived from the Etruscan words "lat" meaning "earth" and "rion" meaning "ruler" or "lord," suggesting the name may have originally referred to a ruler or lord of the earth or land.
In Etruscan culture, names often held significant meaning and were carefully chosen to reflect the desired traits or aspirations for the individual. The name Laterrion may have been bestowed upon those of noble or prestigious lineage, or upon individuals who were expected to hold positions of authority or leadership.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Laterrion can be found in various Etruscan inscriptions and artifacts from the region of modern-day Tuscany, where the Etruscan civilization was centered. One notable bearer of the name was Laterrion Velthur, an Etruscan nobleman and military leader who lived in the 5th century BC and is mentioned in several ancient texts for his victories in battles against neighboring tribes.
As the Roman Empire expanded and absorbed the Etruscan territories, the name Laterrion gradually fell out of use. However, it resurfaced briefly in the 2nd century AD, when a Roman senator named Laterrion Calpurnius is recorded to have served under the emperor Hadrian.
In the Middle Ages, the name experienced a minor revival in certain regions of Italy, particularly in the areas once inhabited by the Etruscans. One notable bearer was Laterrion Lombardi, a 12th-century Italian nobleman and crusader who fought in the Third Crusade alongside Richard the Lionheart.
Another prominent figure with the name was Laterrion Medici, a 15th-century Italian banker and diplomat from the influential Medici family of Florence. He played a significant role in the political and cultural affairs of the Renaissance period.
During the Renaissance, the name also found its way into the arts, with a famous Italian painter named Laterrion Veneziano, who lived in the 16th century and was renowned for his vibrant and detailed depictions of Venetian life.

FAQ
Laterrion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Laterrion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 12 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Laterrion 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 28,562,862 US residents.
Is Laterrion a common name?
We classify Laterrion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 32.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 12 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Laterrion most popular?
The single biggest year for Laterrion was 2010, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Laterrion is about 15 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 Laterrion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Laterrion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Laterrion 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 Laterrion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Laterrion 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 Laterrion 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.
