How old the living Antonios are

born that year still alive today

Of the 264,970 babies given the name since 1880, about 229,000 are alive — 86 in every hundred. Roughly 49,000 of them are children and 13,000 are 65 or over. The dotted line is the median: half were born before 1993 and half after.

An estimate, not a count. SSA births aged forward through SSA cohort life tables, which know nothing about who left the country or arrived in it — so for a name that mostly came to America rather than being born in it, this is a floor rather than a figure. Where you fall among living Americans.

Antonio elsewhere

Counts come from each country's own records and are not comparable with the US figures above, which cover different years and a different definition of a recorded name. Where a country writes the name several ways, the spellings are added together and the most common is shown. A row marked name registrations is counting something else: Portugal ranks each of a child's two given names separately, so a girl registered Maria Leonor is in both the Maria row and the Leonor row, and that figure is not a number of children.

Antonio: births by region

Parts of a country counted above, not extra births. The share is what makes the regions comparable: they differ in size by a factor of three hundred.

By canton, Antonio is most concentrated in Ticino, where 0.15% of children were given it – 93 of them.

Antonio: rank by region

In 2025, Antonio was given 5 times or more in 1 region of Belgium.

In 2024, Antonio was among the 10 most common names in 1 region of Spain.

In 2024, Antonio was among the 10 most common names in 5 regions of Italy, and first in 2 of them. It has come first somewhere in 22 different years.

In 2025, Antonio was given 2 times or more in 8 regions of Poland.

In 2024, with the country taken in 5 parts rather than 21, Antonio appears in the lists for Sud (2nd).

In 2024, with the country taken in 11 areas rather than 3, Antonio appears in the lists for Province of East Flanders (259th).

Each of these is the top of a list the statistics office cut off somewhere – Belgium below 5 children, Spain after 10 names, Italy after 10 names, Poland below 2 children – and published nothing after. So a region missing here is one where the name fell outside what was published, not one where it went unused. Places are shared where names tie, and the further down a list a place is, the more names can share it.

Antonio by city

One city over a few years, so these are much smaller numbers than the national ones above and not comparable with them.

Antonio among the living

How many people each country's register counts under the name, rather than how many were given it in any one year. Each register was read on one date, and they are not the same date.

Among boys in the Netherlands this is mostly a middle name: of the 4,292 who carry it, 916 go by it.

A count of people on a register – the Netherlands on 1 January 2018, Finland on 4 August 2026 – and not of births, so it cannot be compared with the figures above. Names with very few bearers are withheld, and a dash in the first-forename column means the register would not say rather than that nobody goes by it.

Where Antonio lives in Spain

Not a count of births but of people: 590,938 men called Antonio were living in Spain on 1 January 2025, of every age, born in any year. Where they live is not spread evenly.

Men: the provinces where it is densest

Listed in 52 of Spain's 52 provinces. The rate is the source's own, not a share worked out here.
