Spanish Boy Names

1021 spanish boy names with meanings, U.S. popularity, and audio pronunciation on every page.

Say one of these out loud and you can hear a whole family history in it — a grandfather, a saint’s day, a name passed down until it stopped belonging to any one person. The strong traditional Spanish boy names are the backbone of this list: Santiago, the name of Saint James and of a hundred plazas; Alejandro, the Spanish form of Alexander, formal and full of stride; Carlos, the Spanish Charles, steady in every generation; and Antonio, which manages to sound both courtly and completely at ease. None of these need explaining to anyone, anywhere, and that is a quiet gift to give a child.

The faster-moving half of the list is shorter and softer at the edges. Mateo, the Spanish form of Matthew, has surged into the American top tier and shows no sign of slowing. Emiliano and Emilio give you the same warm opening in two very different lengths. Diego is compact and confident, Matias feels contemporary without being invented, and Elian is the kind of newer pick parents choose when they want familiar sounds arranged in an unfamiliar way. Classics like Luis, Juan and Andres sit comfortably alongside them.

Every name below opens to its full page — a sourced meaning, its U.S. popularity, and a clear audio pronunciation so you can hear it before you fall for it.
