Meaning & origin
Eluterio is a rare given name in the United States, with origins that likely trace to Spanish or Greek roots. Social Security records indicate its first recorded year of use was 1905, and it has never appeared in the top 1000 names. Its peak year was also 1905, after which it virtually disappeared from birth certificates. The name has a stable, flat trajectory with no revival in recent decades. Unranked and with no frequency data (one-in-N ratio), Eluterio represents an extremely uncommon choice, tied to early 20th-century naming patterns. It has no recorded top states for prevalence, underscoring its scarcity across all regions.
Eluterio is a masculine name of uncertain origin. It may derive from the Greek 'eleutheros' (free), related to the Latin 'eluteria' through botanical references to freedom. The name appears sporadically in Spanish-speaking records, often linked to religious contexts. Its use in the United States has been extremely rare, with the first recorded occurrence in 1905.
