Pomposo is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of Latin origin. It means 'abundant' or 'luxurious', deriving from the Latin word 'pompa', which signifies majesty or splendor. Historically, Pomposo was more prevalent in Southern Europe and South America, particularly during the medieval period. Today, it's rarely encountered outside of these regions, lending a touch of uniqueness to those who bear this name.
Statistics on the given name "Pomposo" indicate that it has been a rare choice among parents in the United States. In fact, according to available records, there was only one birth recorded with this name each year from 1950 to 1970. This consistent low occurrence over two decades suggests that Pomposo is not a particularly popular or common name in the U.S.
Interestingly, despite its scarcity, the name has not disappeared entirely. There has been at least one baby named Pomposo born every year since 1950, totaling to five births in all during this period. While this number may seem small compared to more popular names, it's a testament to the enduring uniqueness of the name Pomposo among American parents.
In terms of gender distribution, all recorded births with the name Pomposo were male. This makes it a distinctively masculine name in the U.S., at least based on available data.
These statistics provide insight into the rarity and unique character of the name Pomposo in the United States, demonstrating that while it may not be widely chosen, it continues to make an appearance among newborns each year.
