Origin
Meaning and origin of Eusebio
The surname Eusebio has its origins in Italy, with the name being derived from the Latin name "Eusebius." This name translates to "pious" or "devout" and was a common name given to early Christian saints and scholars.
The name can be traced back to the 4th century, when Saint Eusebius of Vercelli, an Italian bishop and writer, lived. His Latin works, including his treatise on the life of St. Anthony, helped popularize the name in the region.
In the Middle Ages, the name Eusebio appeared in various Italian records and manuscripts, such as the Codex Diplomaticus Cavensis, a collection of documents from the Abbey of Cava in southern Italy, dating back to the 9th century.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the surname Eusebio was Eusebio da Montefeltro, an Italian nobleman and condottiero (mercenary captain) who lived in the 15th century. He was known for his military exploits and served under various Italian rulers, including the Papal States and the Republic of Florence.
Another notable figure was Eusebio Kino (1645-1711), an Italian Jesuit missionary and explorer who established numerous missions in present-day Mexico and the southwestern United States. He is credited with exploring and mapping large portions of the region, including parts of Arizona and Sonora.
In the 16th century, Eusebio Cesárino (1510-1583) was an Italian humanist and scholar who wrote on various subjects, including philosophy, theology, and literature. He served as a secretary to Pope Pius IV and was known for his eloquence and erudition.
The surname Eusebio also appeared in the arts, with Eusebio da San Giorgio (1550-1622) being a notable Italian painter and architect from the late Renaissance period. He worked extensively in Rome and is best known for his frescoes and architectural designs for churches and palaces.
In more recent history, Eusébio da Silva Ferreira (1942-2014), better known as Eusébio, was a legendary Portuguese footballer who played as a striker. He is considered one of the greatest players of all time and was a key figure in Portugal's rise as a footballing nation, helping them win the 1966 World Cup third-place match.

The bar chart below shows how Eusebio bearers 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 surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Eusebio surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Does the Census include every surname?
No. The Census Bureau only publishes surnames that appeared at least 100 times in a given decennial Census. That means very rare surnames are excluded entirely, and a surname can appear in one Census release but disappear from a later one if it falls below the reporting threshold.
Why don't the ancestry percentages always add up to exactly 100%?
There are two main reasons: rounding and suppression. The Census Bureau rounds published values, and it may suppress very small cells to protect privacy. For 2020, the Bureau also published raw group counts rather than direct percentages, so Name Census converts those counts back into shares for comparability across census years.
