Census
Eulogio in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 1,963 people with the first name Eulogio, which placed it at #7,676 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.

The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (9.7%) and White (1.6%). 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 Eulogio 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 Eulogio at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Eulogio
The name Eulogio has its origins in the Greek language and can be traced back to the Byzantine era. It is derived from the Greek word "eulogios," which means "blessed" or "praiseworthy." The name is a combination of the Greek words "eu," meaning "good," and "logos," meaning "word" or "speech."
In the early days of Christianity, the name Eulogio was often given to individuals who were known for their virtuous and pious nature. It was a popular name among early Christian communities in the Eastern Mediterranean region, particularly in areas that were part of the Byzantine Empire.
One of the earliest recorded references to the name Eulogio can be found in the writings of Saint Ambrose, a influential Christian philosopher and theologian who lived in the 4th century. He mentioned a man named Eulogio in one of his letters, describing him as a devout Christian and a man of great faith.
Throughout the Byzantine era, the name Eulogio was associated with several notable figures. One of the most famous was Eulogio of Córdoba, a 9th-century Christian martyr and saint who was born in Córdoba, Spain, in 800 AD and died in 859 AD. He was known for his defiance of the Muslim authorities and his unwavering commitment to his faith, which ultimately led to his execution.
Another notable figure with the name Eulogio was Eulogio Desiderio Nepomuceno, a 19th-century Filipino priest and revolutionary who played a significant role in the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. He was born in 1834 and executed by Spanish authorities in 1897 for his involvement in the revolution.
In the world of literature, Eulogio Florentino Sanz, a Spanish poet and playwright who lived from 1823 to 1881, was known for his contributions to the romantic literary movement in Spain.
Eulogio Velasco, a Colombian politician and military leader, was also a prominent figure in the 19th century. He was born in 1800 and played a crucial role in the Colombian War of Independence against Spanish rule.
Throughout history, the name Eulogio has been associated with individuals who were known for their virtuous character, strong religious beliefs, and commitment to their principles.

FAQ
Eulogio: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Eulogio?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 451 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Eulogio 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 759,987 US residents.
Is Eulogio a common name?
We classify Eulogio as "Very Rare". It ranks above 83.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 744 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Eulogio most popular?
The single biggest year for Eulogio was 1953, when 17 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Eulogio is about 53 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Eulogio in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 1,963 people with the name Eulogio, or 0.65 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #7,676 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 Eulogio 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 Eulogio?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Eulogio appears almost entirely male. Of the 1,965 people counted with this name, 99.7% 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 Eulogio?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Eulogio is Hispanic at 88.4%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (9.7%) and White (1.6%). 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 Eulogio most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Eulogio in the 2020 Census, accounting for 88.4% (1,735 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 Eulogio in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Eulogio a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Eulogio 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 Eulogio still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Eulogio 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 Eulogio 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.
