About the name Alonso
Alonso belongs to the Spanish tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Alonso first appears in Social Security records in 1915. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #622 in 2002, and in 2024 327 babies received the name — 11,905 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
