Meaning & origin
Dagoberto is an uncommon name in the United States, with records dating back to 1950. It peaked in popularity in 1996 but has been in decline since 1995. As of 2025, it ranks 9,714, with a 1-in-244,011 occurrence rate. Despite its rarity, the name carries a strong Germanic heritage and is more common in Italian and Spanish-speaking communities. Its use remains infrequent, and it has no top state concentrations, reflecting its scattered, low-frequency adoption.
Dagoberto is the Italian and Spanish form of the Germanic name Dagobert, composed of *daga* 'day' and *berhta* 'bright'. The name was borne by several Frankish kings, most notably Dagobert I (7th century), a Merovingian ruler. It spread to the Iberian Peninsula via Visigothic influence and later became established in Italy and Spain, though it has never been common in English-speaking countries.
