About Pius
Pius is the very definition of a religious name, used appropriately enough for several popes. Only a handful of baby boys receive this name every year.
Despite the rise of similar ancient Roman names such as Justus and Magnus, we think Pius is too assertively religious to enjoy the same kind of turn in the sun.
As of October 2026, Pius ranked #8081 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1362 in 1911.
Editor's take: The name Pius is a boy's name meaning "pious".
