Dagoberto is a unique and distinctive given name of Spanish origin, derived from the Visigothic name 'Dagobertus'. It consists of two elements: 'dag' meaning 'day', and 'bert' which is associated with brightness or fame. The name was popularized by Saint Dagobert I, King of Austrasia in the 7th century, who was known for his generosity and piety.
The name Dagoberto experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a peak of 49 births in 1996 and a low of 8 births in 2023. From 1950 to around 1990, the number of births varied between single digits and mid-twenties annually, with notable spikes in the late 1980s and early 1990s. After 1996, the popularity of the name steadily declined, dropping below 30 births per year since then.
