About the name Macario
Macario belongs to the 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, Macario first appears in Social Security records in 1903. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #1014 in 1924, and in 2024 34 babies received the name — 2,794 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
