About the name Renato
Renato 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, Renato first appears in Social Security records in 1911. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #1121 in 1969, and in 2024 55 babies received the name — 3,249 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
