Is Margarito a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Margarito has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 120 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Margarito: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Margarito, and how old are they?
2,770 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 57% of the 4,887 Americans ever recorded as Margarito. The median Margarito alive today is 45 years old; half are between 29 and 65.
The 2020 Census counted 9,541 people named Margarito (99 women and girls, 9,442 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,982 born in the U.S. The Census count is 3.2 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 are babies named Margarito born?
The states with the most babies named Margarito are Texas, California and New Mexico, with 99% of its births recorded by state since 1910; New Mexico is not among the ten states with the most births.

Where Margarito is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Margarito is most over-represented in New Mexico: since 1910 it was given 10.8 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 Margarito with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
