What does Eino mean?
Wiktionary, Finnish section
Eino is “a male given name” Its etymology gives the senses “edge, point (of a weapon)” (*agjǭ) and “rule” (*waldą) and “one who rules by the sword” (,).
Medieval form of Middle Low German Enewald, a saint with a local cult in southern Finland; from Old High German Aginwald, from Proto-Germanic *agjǭ (“edge, point (of a weapon)”) + *waldą (“rule”), “one who rules by the sword”. Revived in the 19th century (perhaps by Yrjö Sakari Yrjö-Koskinen) and later also used as a short form of Einari.

Is Eino a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Eino has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 37 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Eino: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Eino, and how old are they?
An estimated 16 Americans named Eino and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026, too few to state an age range. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 124 people named Eino (1 woman or girl, 123 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 32 born in the U.S. The Census count is 3.9 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.
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 are babies named Eino born?
The states with the most babies named Eino are Michigan, Minnesota and Massachusetts, with 100% of its births recorded by state since 1910; Minnesota and Massachusetts are not among the ten states with the most births.

Where Eino is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Eino is most over-represented in Minnesota: since 1910 it was given 9.5 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 Eino with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
