Onofre is a unique and distinctive given name, of Spanish origin, derived from the Latin 'Onophrion'. This name is not widely prevalent, which contributes to its rarity and individuality. The name Onofre is also found in Catalan language and culture. It is associated with Saint Onofre, a hermit venerated by both Catholics and Orthodox Christians. Traditionally, it has been more common among Spanish-speaking populations but can be encountered globally due to immigration and international cultural exchanges.
The name Onofre seems to have been quite popular around the mid-20th century, with a notable spike in births from 1932 onwards, reaching its peak between 1970 and 1981. However, since then, it appears that this name has fallen out of favor, as the number of births per year has consistently been low, ranging from 5 to 10.
