Ubaldo is an Italian given name of Germanic origin, derived from the Old High German 'Adalbald', which translates to 'noble and bold'. It was popularized during the Middle Ages, particularly in Italy, where it remains a well-known choice for boys today.
The name Ubaldo experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the past century, with a notable peak around the late 1960s to early 1970s. During this period, there were consistently high numbers of births, reaching as many as 30 births per year between 1967 and 1975. However, since then, its popularity has steadily declined, with fewer than 20 births recorded annually from the mid-1980s onwards. In recent years, Ubaldo has become quite rare, with less than 10 births per year since 2017.
