About the name Efraín
Efraín belongs to the Spanish 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, Efraín first appears in Social Security records in 1920. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #469 in 1981, and in 2024 126 babies received the name — 18,439 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
