Meaning & origin
Sergio is a classic Italian and Spanish name that has maintained steady use in the United States, particularly in states with large Hispanic populations. With a rank of 441 in 2025 and a peak popularity in 1995, it has been falling in favor since 1996. Its highest concentration is in Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada, reflecting its strong cultural ties. The name entered U.S. records in 1913 and has remained a consistent choice for families seeking a name with Roman heritage and saintly associations.
Sergio is the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese form of the Latin family name Sergius, a Roman nomen of possible Etruscan origin. The name was borne by early Christian saints, including Saint Sergius, a fourth-century Roman martyr. It has been common throughout the Romance-speaking world for centuries.
