Origin
Meaning and origin of Raimondi
The surname Raimondi originated in Italy during the Middle Ages. It is derived from the Italian personal name Raimondo, which itself comes from the Germanic name Raginmund, meaning "counsel" and "protection." The name Raimondo was popular in medieval Italy, particularly in the northern regions.
Raimondi is believed to have first appeared as a surname in the 12th or 13th century, when it became common practice to adopt hereditary surnames. The earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in various documents and records from that period, particularly in the regions of Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, and Tuscany.
One notable historical reference to the name Raimondi is found in the "Liber Censualis" of 1192, a census-like record of land ownership and taxation in the Papal States. Several individuals with the surname Raimondi are listed as landowners in various parts of central Italy.
In the 14th century, a prominent figure named Raimondi di Perugia (1300-1368) was a renowned Italian jurist and professor of law at the University of Perugia. His legal treatises and commentary on Roman law were highly influential during the Renaissance.
Another significant figure with the surname Raimondi was the Italian artist and engraver Marcantonio Raimondi (c. 1480-c. 1534), who was best known for his engravings of works by Raphael and other Renaissance masters. He played a crucial role in popularizing the art of engraving and disseminating the works of great artists throughout Europe.
During the Renaissance period, the Raimondi family produced several notable figures in the arts and sciences. One such individual was Eugenio Raimondi (1536-1610), an Italian botanist and physician who made significant contributions to the study of plant taxonomy and medicinal plants.
In the 17th century, Girolamo Raimondi (1586-1675) was a renowned Italian architect and engineer who designed and oversaw the construction of several important buildings and infrastructure projects in Rome and other parts of Italy.
Throughout history, the surname Raimondi has also been associated with various places and locations, particularly in Italy. For example, the town of Raimondi in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, is believed to have derived its name from the Raimondi family who once held lands in that area.

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 Raimondi surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Yes. This page is using the latest surname file currently loaded on Name Census, which is 2020. The historical section above also keeps any older Census surname entries we have for Raimondi (2000, 2010, 2020).
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.
