Valdo is of Italian origin and means "strong, healthy." It is derived from the Latin word 'validus,' which signifies strength and vigor. In Italy, Valdo is often used as a short form for longer names such as Valdemaro or Valdenero. The name gained popularity in the 20th century and continues to be a common choice among Italian parents today. However, it has also been adopted by other countries due to its strong yet approachable sound.
The name Valdo experienced a resurgence in popularity during the late 20th century, with birth peaks occurring in the years 1925, 1926, and 1932. However, it seems to have declined since then, as evidenced by the single-digit birth counts in 1990 and 2007. Overall, there were a total of 33 births named Valdo across these years.
