Census
Laloni in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 191 people with the first name Laloni, which placed it at #39,504 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 Laloni
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Laloni is White at 40.8%. The next largest groups are Black (30.9%) and Hispanic (14.1%). 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 Laloni 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 Laloni at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Laloni
The name Laloni has its roots in the ancient Etruscan civilization, which flourished in what is now modern-day Italy between the 8th and 3rd centuries BCE. It is believed to be derived from the Etruscan word "lalu," meaning "sacred" or "divine," and the suffix "-ni," which was a common name ending used by the Etruscans.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Laloni can be found in an Etruscan funerary inscription from the 5th century BCE, discovered in the necropolis of Cerveteri. This inscription suggests that the name may have been associated with religious or spiritual significance within the Etruscan culture.
During the Roman Empire, the name Laloni was occasionally adopted by Roman families with Etruscan ancestry, although it remained relatively uncommon. One notable historical figure bearing this name was Laloni Petronia, a Roman noblewoman who lived in the 1st century CE and was known for her patronage of the arts and literature.
In the Middle Ages, the name Laloni resurfaced in various regions of Italy, particularly in the northern regions with strong Etruscan heritage. One notable bearer of the name was Laloni di Siena, a 13th-century Italian sculptor and architect who contributed to the construction of several cathedrals and churches in his native city of Siena.
During the Renaissance period, the name Laloni gained some popularity among Italian humanists and scholars who were fascinated by the ancient Etruscan culture. One such figure was Laloni Boccaccio, a 15th-century Florentine scholar and poet who wrote extensively about Etruscan history and mythology.
In more recent centuries, the name Laloni has remained relatively rare, but it has been carried by a few notable individuals. One example is Laloni Marconi, an Italian physicist and inventor who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is credited with pioneering work in the field of wireless communication.
Another notable bearer of the name was Laloni Pasolini, an Italian filmmaker and intellectual of the 20th century, known for his controversial and thought-provoking works that explored themes of sexuality, politics, and social commentary.
While the name Laloni is not as common today as it once was, it remains a unique and intriguing name with a rich historical legacy rooted in the ancient Etruscan civilization and its enduring influence on Italian culture and society.

FAQ
Laloni: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Laloni?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 116 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Laloni 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 2,954,779 US residents.
Is Laloni a common name?
We classify Laloni as "Very Rare". It ranks above 66.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 120 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Laloni most popular?
The single biggest year for Laloni was 2007, when 10 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Laloni is about 23 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Laloni in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 191 people with the name Laloni, or 0.06 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #39,504 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 Laloni 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 Laloni?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Laloni leans strongly female. 190 people counted with this name were female (97.4%), compared with 5 male bearers (2.6%). 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 Laloni?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Laloni is White at 40.8%. The next largest groups are Black (30.9%) and Hispanic (14.1%). 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 Laloni most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Laloni in the 2020 Census, accounting for 40.8% (78 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 Laloni in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Laloni a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Laloni in the SSA data are female. 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 Laloni still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Laloni 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 Laloni 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.
