Census
Aladino in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 224 people with the first name Aladino, which placed it at #35,741 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.

Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Aladino
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Aladino is Hispanic at 77.2%. The next largest groups are White (13.4%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (6.7%). 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 Aladino 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 Aladino at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Aladino
The name Aladino is a Spanish variation of the Arabic name Alā ad-Dīn, which means "nobility of the faith" or "nobility of religion." This name has its origins in the Middle Eastern and Islamic cultures, dating back to around the 12th or 13th century.
It is believed that the name Aladino gained popularity in Europe during the Renaissance period, when Arabic tales and literature, such as the "Arabian Nights" or "One Thousand and One Nights," became widely known and appreciated in the West. One of the most famous stories from this collection is the tale of "Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp," which features a character named Aladdin.
The earliest recorded use of the name Aladino can be traced back to Spain, where it was likely introduced by the Moors during their rule over parts of the Iberian Peninsula from the 8th to the 15th century. The name's Arabic roots and association with the Arabian folktales resonated with the cultural exchange that took place during this period.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Aladino was Aladino de Florencia, an Italian architect and sculptor who lived in the 13th century. He is known for his work on the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence, Italy.
Another notable figure with this name was Aladino Guzmán, a Spanish painter from the 16th century who was known for his religious paintings and frescoes in churches across Spain.
In the 19th century, Aladino Della Vega was a prominent Italian-Argentine politician and diplomat who served as the Argentine ambassador to several countries, including Italy and Spain.
Aladino Félix Klein, born in 1857, was a German mathematician and professor who made significant contributions to the field of geometry and group theory.
Aladino Sala, born in 1934, was an Italian film director and screenwriter who directed several critically acclaimed movies in the 1960s and 1970s, such as "Boccaccio '70" and "La terrazza."
While the name Aladino has its roots in Arabic culture and gained popularity through literary works, it has been embraced and used across various cultures and regions, particularly in Europe and Latin America, over the centuries.

FAQ
Aladino: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Aladino?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 23 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Aladino 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 14,902,363 US residents.
Is Aladino a common name?
We classify Aladino as "Very Rare". It ranks above 42.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 31 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Aladino most popular?
The single biggest year for Aladino was 1969, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Aladino is about 58 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Aladino in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 224 people with the name Aladino, or 0.07 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #35,741 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 Aladino 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 Aladino?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Aladino appears almost entirely male. Of the 221 people counted with this name, 100.0% 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 Aladino?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Aladino is Hispanic at 77.2%. The next largest groups are White (13.4%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (6.7%). 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 Aladino most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Aladino in the 2020 Census, accounting for 77.2% (173 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 Aladino in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Aladino a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Aladino 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 Aladino still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Aladino 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 Aladino 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.
