Is Mauro a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Mauro has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 113 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Mauro: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Mauro, and how old are they?
5,530 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 83% of the 6,644 Americans ever recorded as Mauro. The median Mauro alive today is 26 years old; half are between 13 and 43.
The 2020 Census counted 11,897 people named Mauro (30 women and girls, 11,867 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 5,026 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.4 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 Mauro is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Mauro is most over-represented in Texas: since 1913 it was given 3.9 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 Mauro with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 163,062 babies since 1880, Mauro is the second most given (4.1% of them). In 2025 it was given to 119 of their 849 babies (14%), again the second most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
