Census
Antoino in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 531 people with the first name Antoino, which placed it at #19,755 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.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Antoino
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Antoino is Black at 46.5%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (42.2%) and White (7.2%). 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 Antoino 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 Antoino at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Antoino
The name Antoino is a masculine given name with its origins in the Latin language. It derives from the Roman family name Antonius, which is believed to have been derived from the ancient Greek word "anthos," meaning flower or blossom.
Antoino was a popular name among ancient Romans, and it is found in various historical records from that era. One of the most notable individuals to bear this name was Mark Antony, a Roman politician and general who lived from 83 BC to 30 BC. He was a close friend and ally of Julius Caesar and later became a member of the Second Triumvirate, ruling Rome alongside Octavian and Lepidus.
The name Antoino also has connections to early Christianity. St. Anthony the Great, born around 251 AD in Egypt, was a prominent leader in the Christian monastic tradition. He is revered as the father of monasticism and is often depicted with a pig, representing his victory over temptation.
During the Middle Ages, the name Antoino gained popularity across Europe, particularly in the regions influenced by the Roman Empire. One notable bearer of this name was Antonio Vivaldi, the famous Italian Baroque composer and violinist, who lived from 1678 to 1741. His most famous work, "The Four Seasons," is widely acclaimed and continues to be performed around the world.
Another prominent figure named Antoino was Antonio Stradivari, the renowned Italian luthier who lived from 1644 to 1737. He is widely regarded as the most significant and greatest artisan in the field of violin making, and his instruments are highly prized and sought after by musicians and collectors alike.
In the realm of exploration, Antonio Pigafetta, an Italian scholar and navigator who lived from 1491 to 1534, is remembered for his accounts of the first circumnavigation of the globe. He accompanied Ferdinand Magellan on his famous voyage and his detailed journals provide valuable insights into the journey and the lands and cultures encountered.
These are just a few examples of notable individuals who bore the name Antoino throughout history, highlighting its enduring presence across various fields and cultures over the centuries.

FAQ
Antoino: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Antoino?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 478 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Antoino 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 717,059 US residents.
Is Antoino a common name?
We classify Antoino as "Very Rare". It ranks above 84.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 506 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Antoino most popular?
The single biggest year for Antoino was 1979, when 28 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Antoino is about 42 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Antoino in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 531 people with the name Antoino, or 0.18 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #19,755 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 Antoino 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 Antoino?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Antoino appears almost entirely male. Of the 535 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 Antoino?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Antoino is Black at 46.5%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (42.2%) and White (7.2%). 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 Antoino most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Antoino in the 2020 Census, accounting for 46.5% (247 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 Antoino in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Antoino a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Antoino 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 Antoino still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Antoino 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 Antoino 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.
