Is Alfredo a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Alfredo has been given almost only to boys: 285 girls in 138 years of records.
Girls and boys named Alfredo: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Alfredo, and how old are they?
47,100 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 82% of the 57,360 Americans ever recorded as Alfredo. The median Alfredo alive today is 34 years old; half are between 22 and 50.
The 2020 Census counted 89,731 people named Alfredo (167 women and girls, 89,564 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 47,046 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.9 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Alfredo is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Alfredo is most over-represented in Texas: since 1910 it was given 4.1 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among boys’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Alfredo with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
