Census
Liborio in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 1,216 people with the first name Liborio, which placed it at #10,794 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.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Liborio is Hispanic at 82.5%. The next largest groups are White (14.4%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (2.3%). 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 Liborio 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 Liborio at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Liborio
The name Liborio has its origins in Latin, derived from the name Liberius, which itself is a derivative of the Latin word "liber," meaning "free." This etymology suggests a connection to concepts of freedom and liberty.
The name Liborio traces its roots back to ancient Rome, where it was used as a personal name during the Roman Empire period. It is believed to have been particularly popular in the regions of what is now Italy and the surrounding Mediterranean areas.
One of the earliest recorded historical references to the name Liborio can be found in the life of Saint Liborio, a 4th-century bishop of Le Mans, France. This early Christian saint is celebrated in the Catholic Church, and his feast day is observed on July 23rd.
Throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the name Liborio continued to be used, primarily in Italy and other parts of Europe influenced by Latin and Roman culture. Notable historical figures who bore this name include Liborio Giuffré (1687-1757), an Italian jurist and philosopher, and Liborio Narpete (1573-1635), a Spanish painter active during the Baroque period.
Moving into the modern era, Liborio Holzer (1811-1871) was an Austrian botanist and explorer who conducted extensive research in South America. Liborio Mejía (1871-1946) was a Colombian politician who served as the 16th President of Colombia from 1934 to 1938.
Another noteworthy figure was Liborio Ramirez (1922-1977), a Mexican-American civil rights activist and labor leader who played a crucial role in the Delano grape strike and the formation of the United Farm Workers union.
While the name Liborio has its roots in ancient Latin and Roman culture, it has continued to be used across various regions and time periods, often carried by individuals who have made significant contributions in fields such as law, art, politics, and social justice movements.

FAQ
Liborio: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Liborio?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 286 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Liborio 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 1,198,442 US residents.
Is Liborio a common name?
We classify Liborio as "Very Rare". It ranks above 78.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 527 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Liborio most popular?
The single biggest year for Liborio was 1932, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Liborio is about 48 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Liborio in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 1,216 people with the name Liborio, or 0.40 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #10,794 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 Liborio 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 Liborio?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Liborio appears almost entirely male. Of the 1,221 people counted with this name, 99.6% 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 Liborio?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Liborio is Hispanic at 82.5%. The next largest groups are White (14.4%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (2.3%). 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 Liborio most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Liborio in the 2020 Census, accounting for 82.5% (1,003 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 Liborio in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Liborio a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Liborio 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 Liborio still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Liborio 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 Liborio 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.
