The first name 
Martino

Martino is a male first name.

Martino – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Martino in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Martino in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Martino by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Martino ranks at #6,164. That means there are 6,163 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Martino.

Martino -
special from day one

In fact, the name Martino wasn't vogue in the 19th century, but between 1900 and 1975 young parents changed that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Martino seemed more popular than ever in 1975, when 18 parents named their sons Martino. Although the name never ranked higher than #2,047, that year parents chose it as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Martino, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Martino was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Martino - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Martino a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 5,849, for a total of 12 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for a many years. As Martino seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.

Martino -
at home in Michigan and Ohio

Meeting a man or boy named Martino is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Martino can be found in only two: Michigan and Ohio. No other state currently has residents named Martino. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Martino living in one state or another. (If your name is Martino and you live outside of Michigan or Ohio, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Martino is in Michigan, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in Michigan, only 0.00010% of all male residents are called Martino – that’s just one in 1,048,391! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 12 men going by that name. So, if your name is Martino, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
