The IBGE 2010 Census counted 11,734,129 people named Maria, about 1 in every 16 Brazilians. It is the most common name in the country. Next come José (5,754,529), Ana (3,089,858) and João (2,984,119). These totals add up all decades of birth.
It is familiar but not among the 20 most common: 74,888 people in the 2010 Census, 1 in every 2,547 Brazilians, or 12% of the 20th place, Eduardo.
The birth peak was in the 2000s, with 59,777 people. The median, the point that splits the total in half, falls in the 2000s, which meant ages 0 to 10 in 2010.
Through 2009, rising: 4,179 born in the 1990s and 59,777 in the 2000s. The 2010 Census cannot see what came after, so this does not say whether the name rises or falls today.
In absolute numbers the biggest group lives in São Paulo, with 20,727 people, largely because the state is populous. Relative to population, the leader is Distrito Federal, with 76 per 100,000 inhabitants. The lowest rate is in Amapá, at 17.
