Where in the world
(measured from records)Vigilio counted together with the spellings and other-language forms grouped with it. Where a register counted another spelling, the row names it.
Sorted by bearers: national registers' counts, and Mondonomo's estimates (≈, est.) where no register counts.
Exact figures are national registers' own counts, while figures marked ≈ and est. are Mondonomo’s estimates, counted from our sources and calibrated against those registers; hover one for how far to trust it in that country. A dash means neither exists.
Registers cited: IBGE — Nomes (census name API); the us-wru-surnames-voterfile register; INE — Padrón per-token widgets (current living counts, given + apellidos); SA BDM — Popular baby names South Australia (1944–present). Figures without a register are Mondonomo estimates; see Methodology.

Other recorded senses
(measured from records)Vigilio is also recorded in one other lexicon, as a different name or as an ordinary word. These are senses of the spelling, not of the name above.
Italian (characteristic of the Trentino region): borne in honour of the local saint, Vigilius , bishop of Trent (d. 405), who was stoned to death for overturning a statue of Saturn. The name is probably a derivative of Latin vigil wakeful, watchful (cf. GREGORY ).
as a word
Ordered by how much of this spelling's record each language holds, so a sense from a language the name is barely used in sits last rather than first.

About this data
measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated
These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
