About the name Socorro
Socorro 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, Socorro first appears in Social Security records in 1913. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #539 in 1929, and in 2024 8 babies received the name — 6,903 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
