Census
Reymundo in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 3,633 people with the first name Reymundo, which placed it at #4,914 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 (2.9%) and White (1.9%). 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 Reymundo 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 Reymundo at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Reymundo
The name Reymundo is derived from the Spanish language, tracing its origins back to the medieval era in Spain and Portugal. It is a combination of the Germanic name "Raimundo" and the Latin word "mundus," which means "world" or "universe."
One of the earliest recorded uses of the name Reymundo can be found in the chronicles of the Kingdom of Aragon in the 12th century, where it was mentioned as the name of a nobleman. The name was also present in various literary works and historical documents from the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages.
In the 13th century, a notable figure named Reymundo de Peñafort, a Spanish canonist and a Dominican friar, played a significant role in the codification of canon law. He was born in 1175 and died in 1275, and his contributions to the Catholic Church earned him the title of "Father of Canon Law."
Another historical figure bearing the name Reymundo was Reymundo Lulio, also known as Ramon Llull, a Majorcan philosopher, logician, and writer from the 13th century. He was born in 1232 and died in 1315, and his works covered a wide range of topics, including philosophy, theology, and literature.
In the 16th century, Reymundo de Tassis, an Italian-Spanish diplomat and courtier, served as the chief postmaster of the Spanish Empire under King Philip II. He was born in 1505 and died in 1579, and his contributions to the postal system in Spain were significant.
During the Colonial era in Latin America, the name Reymundo was also present among notable figures. One example is Reymundo de Quiroga, a Spanish-born Catholic bishop who served as the first Bishop of Michoacán in New Spain (present-day Mexico) in the 16th century. He played a crucial role in the evangelization efforts in the region.
Throughout history, the name Reymundo has been carried by individuals from various backgrounds and professions, including writers, artists, politicians, and religious figures. While its popularity may have fluctuated over time, the name remains a part of the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of the Spanish-speaking world.

FAQ
Reymundo: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Reymundo?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 3,364 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Reymundo 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 101,889 US residents.
Is Reymundo a common name?
We classify Reymundo as "Rare". It ranks above 95.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 4,281 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Reymundo most popular?
The single biggest year for Reymundo was 1995, when 71 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Reymundo 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 Reymundo in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 3,633 people with the name Reymundo, or 1.20 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #4,914 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 Reymundo 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 Reymundo?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Reymundo appears almost entirely male. Of the 3,635 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 Reymundo?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Reymundo is Hispanic at 94.7%. The next largest groups are Asian/Pacific Islander (2.9%) and White (1.9%). 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 Reymundo most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Reymundo in the 2020 Census, accounting for 94.7% (3,439 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 Reymundo in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Reymundo a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Reymundo 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 Reymundo still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Reymundo 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 Reymundo 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.
