Census
Conrado in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 4,014 people with the first name Conrado, which placed it at #4,583 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 Conrado
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Conrado is Hispanic at 69.0%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (27.8%) and White (2.1%). 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 Conrado 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 Conrado at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Conrado
The name Conrado is derived from the Germanic name Konrad, which is composed of two elements: "kuoni" meaning "brave" and "rad" meaning "counsel" or "advice." This name has its origins in the Middle Ages, around the 7th to 9th centuries, and was particularly popular in German-speaking regions.
The earliest recorded use of the name Conrado can be traced back to the 9th century, when it was mentioned in the Annals of Fulda, a medieval chronicle written by monks in the Benedictine abbey of Fulda, Germany. The name gained popularity due to its association with several historical figures, including Conrado I, the first Duke of Swabia, who lived in the 10th century.
One of the most notable individuals with the name Conrado was Conrado III, also known as Conrad III, who was the King of Germany from 1138 to 1152. He led the Second Crusade to the Holy Land but was ultimately unsuccessful in his efforts to recapture Edessa from the Muslims.
Another prominent figure bearing this name was Conrado de Montferrat, a French crusader and the Marquis of Montferrat from 1187 until his assassination in 1192. He played a significant role in the Third Crusade and was a contender for the throne of Jerusalem after the death of Guy de Lusignan.
In the 16th century, Conrado Gesnero, a Swiss naturalist and physician, made significant contributions to the fields of zoology and botany. He is considered one of the founders of modern zoology and is known for his comprehensive work, "Historiae Animalium," published in the mid-1500s.
Conrado Navel, a Spanish painter and engraver from the 16th century, was renowned for his religious works and portraits. He was active in Madrid and is considered one of the most important artists of the Spanish Renaissance.
While the name Conrado has its roots in the Germanic language, it has been adapted and used in various cultures and languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. The name has a strong historical presence, particularly in Europe, and continues to be used today, albeit less commonly than in the past.

FAQ
Conrado: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Conrado?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1,517 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Conrado 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 225,942 US residents.
Is Conrado a common name?
We classify Conrado as "Rare". It ranks above 92.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 2,188 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Conrado most popular?
The single biggest year for Conrado was 1974, when 37 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Conrado is about 46 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Conrado in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 4,014 people with the name Conrado, or 1.33 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #4,583 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 Conrado 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 Conrado?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Conrado appears almost entirely male. Of the 4,020 people counted with this name, 99.8% 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 Conrado?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Conrado is Hispanic at 69.0%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (27.8%) and White (2.1%). 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 Conrado most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Conrado in the 2020 Census, accounting for 69.0% (2,769 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 Conrado in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Conrado a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Conrado 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 Conrado still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Conrado 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 Conrado 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.
