Census
Fabrizzio in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 264 people with the first name Fabrizzio, which placed it at #32,084 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 Fabrizzio
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Fabrizzio is Hispanic at 86.4%. The next largest groups are White (11.0%) and Black (1.5%). 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 Fabrizzio 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 Fabrizzio at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Fabrizzio
The name Fabrizzio finds its origins in the Italian language and culture, with roots dating back to ancient Rome. It is derived from the Latin name "Fabricius," which itself comes from the word "faber," meaning "craftsman" or "artisan." This connection to skilled labor and craftsmanship has imbued the name with a sense of diligence and expertise throughout its history.
In the early days of Rome, the Fabricii were a prominent patrician family known for their involvement in politics and military affairs. One notable figure from this family was Gaius Fabricius Luscinus, a Roman consul and military commander who lived in the 3rd century BC. He was renowned for his integrity, austerity, and unwavering commitment to the principles of the Roman Republic.
As the Roman Empire expanded and Christianity spread, the name Fabrizzio gained popularity among early Christian communities. It is believed to have been borne by several early Christian martyrs and saints, though records from this era are often incomplete or uncertain.
During the Renaissance period, the name Fabrizzio experienced a resurgence in popularity, particularly in Italy. This was likely due to the renewed interest in classical Roman culture and the arts during this time. One notable bearer of the name was Fabrizio Caroso, an Italian Renaissance dance master and choreographer who lived from 1535 to 1605. His treatise on dancing, "Il Ballarino," is considered a seminal work in the history of dance.
In the 17th century, Fabrizio Campanile, an Italian architect and engineer, made significant contributions to the field of hydraulic engineering. He was responsible for designing and constructing several important water systems and aqueducts in Rome and the surrounding regions.
Moving into the 19th century, Fabrizio Dionisi was an Italian philologist and historian who lived from 1819 to 1891. He is best known for his work on the history and literature of the Umbrian region of Italy, and his contributions to the study of ancient languages and texts.
In the 20th century, Fabrizio De André was a renowned Italian singer-songwriter and poet who lived from 1940 to 1999. He is considered one of the most influential figures in Italian popular music and is celebrated for his poetic lyrics and socially conscious themes.
These are just a few examples of notable individuals throughout history who have borne the name Fabrizzio, each leaving their mark in their respective fields and contributing to the rich tapestry of the name's legacy.

FAQ
Fabrizzio: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Fabrizzio?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 139 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Fabrizzio 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 2,465,859 US residents.
Is Fabrizzio a common name?
We classify Fabrizzio as "Very Rare". It ranks above 69.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 141 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Fabrizzio most popular?
The single biggest year for Fabrizzio was 2005, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Fabrizzio is about 18 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Fabrizzio in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 264 people with the name Fabrizzio, or 0.09 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #32,084 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 Fabrizzio 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 Fabrizzio?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Fabrizzio appears almost entirely male. Of the 259 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 Fabrizzio?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Fabrizzio is Hispanic at 86.4%. The next largest groups are White (11.0%) and Black (1.5%). 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 Fabrizzio most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Fabrizzio in the 2020 Census, accounting for 86.4% (228 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 Fabrizzio in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Fabrizzio a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Fabrizzio 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 Fabrizzio still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Fabrizzio 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 Fabrizzio 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.
