About the name Eligio
Eligio belongs to the Spanish and Portuguese 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, Eligio first appears in Social Security records in 1909. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #1322 in 1909, and in 2024 10 babies received the name — 1,535 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
