Umberto — boys' name

What the Data Says About Umberto

The Social Security Administration has registered 989 babies named Umberto between 1911 and 2021, spanning 111 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Umberto currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2021. The name reached its historical peak in 1915, when 30 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Umberto performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 169 births during that ten-year window. Across the 12 decades of recorded activity, Umberto shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 170 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Pennsylvania. In total, SSA state-level files list Umberto in 4 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Umberto in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 989 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
