About Canio

Canio is a masculine given name documented in Italian.

Italian Wiktionary account

Source-reported

Con tutta probabilità deriva dal nome personale tardo latino Canius, la cui etimologia è dal latino canus ("canuto", "dai capelli bianchi"). Un'etimologia meno accreditata ma ampiamente testimoniata è quella dal gaelico: in questa lingua Canio significherebbe "magnifico custode" o "magnifico sorvegliante". Questa derivazione è fortemente legata alla leggenda che vede la cattedrale di Acerenza, piccolo borgo della Basilicata in cui è molto forte la venerazione per San Canio, come uno dei possibili luoghi di culto templari nei quali il Sacro Graal sarebbe appunto custodito e sorvegliato dal santo.

About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Canio” as recorded by the publisher. When a spelling has several independent origins, the counts are not split between them. Counts measure applications. Gaps are years without a published value, not zeros.

Rates per million are unavailable for this series because no compatible denominator has been imported.

Universe: US national Social Security card applications by name, sex and birth year; not a complete birth registry, especially before 1937.
Rounding: Integer application counts retained without rounding.
Suppression: Only names with at least 5 occurrences in a year and sex are included. Missing observations are not zeros.
Ranking: computed by NameStoria from published counts; ties share a rank, next rank skips. The mirror's derived rank column is not used.
