About the name Vasco
Vasco 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, Vasco first appears in Social Security records in 1910. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #1412 in 1910, and in 2024 16 babies received the name — 508 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
