Guido
About Guido
Guido was very popular in Renaissance Italy, with many namesakes including painter Fra Angelico (born Guido di Pietro) and mathematician Guido Fubini. Guy Fawkes, of gunpowder plot fame, sometimes used this version. Nowadays it's unfairly overlooked, but in the current trend for snappy international names ending in -o, this cultured gem deserves more use.
Pronounced GWEE-doe.
As of October 2026, Guido ranked #11364 in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #525 in 1913.
