Inside: A collection of 100 plus of the best and most popular Latino and hispanic boy names and their meanings to use for your baby boy this 2023.

One of the most exciting yet nerve-racking parts of pregnancy is choosing the best baby name.

Will you choose a popular, common baby name or a unique and rare baby name? I need to know!

The decision becomes even more strenuous when you are in a multicultural family like myself. Choosing the perfect bilingual baby name while making sure both sides of the family can pronounce it correctly can get tricky!

Well no fret! Today I have a list of 150+ Hispanic boy names that you can browse through to help you choose the perfect name for your bebecito!

A quick story of how I chose my Hispanic boy name

Before I got pregnant with my son, I always wanted the name Thiago/Tiago for a boy.

It was the perfect combination for my little multicultural, bilingual family. My husband is from El Salvador, and my ancestors are from Italy, so Thiago (with Italian orthography) was the perfect name to represent our different languages and cultures.

Also, it would also have been easy to pronounce for my family and my Salvadoran in-laws.

I used to say Thiago in my head all day long, imagining the day I would meet my little prince.

Unfortunately, I shared my good choice with a fellow pregnant coworker. Guess what happened? YUP! She ended up naming her little boy Thiago! What!

I was horrified.

Fast forward a few months later, I became pregnant myself, so I had to start my own baby name search.

At the end of the day, I am relieved that she took that name because not only did I find one that I like a lot better, but Thiago also turned about to be a trendy name.

I for sure did not want a common name. I wanted a classic name, a powerful name, the right name for my little boy with Latin roots. And I found it!

It didn’t end up being a Spanish baby boy name per se, but it was the perfect choice for our child. If you haven’t already guessed from the name of my blog, that choice was Lennox!

Well, now that you know my baby name story, let’s get on with this list of Spanish boy names so you can pick yours out too!
