Is Edoardo a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Edoardo: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Edoardo, and how old are they?
An estimated 240 Americans named Edoardo and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 19 years old and half are between 11 and 26. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 521 people named Edoardo (0 women and girls, 521 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 198 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.6 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.
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).
