About Eino

Eino is a masculine given name documented in Danish, Estonian and Finnish. English Wiktionary traces it to Old High German Aginwald via Middle Low German, from the components “edge, point (of a weapon)” + “rule”.

Old High German origin

Source-reported

Meaning: “edge, point (of a weapon)” + “rule”

Medieval form of Middle Low German Enewald, a saint with a local cult in southern Finland; from Old High German Aginwald, from Proto-Germanic *agjǭ (“edge, point (of a weapon)”) + *waldą (“rule”), “one who rules by the sword”. Revived in the 19th century (perhaps by Yrjö Sakari Yrjö-Koskinen) and later also used as a short form of Einari.

About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Eino” 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.

1884From the archives
Eino— “awful firmness”
It is identically the same name as Eginhard, the contemporary chronicler of Charlemagne. The _n_ being used in declining the leading noun, is retained in the pronunciation of the name. Friesland, however, separates the two, and shortens Eginhard into Eino, Aynnert, Aynt.
