History & Origin

Trigo appears in United States records only rarely, around the mid-2000s, as a surname pressed into service as a boys' first name. It is the Spanish word for wheat and a documented Spanish and Sephardic Jewish family name.

Did you know? Trigo is simply the Spanish word for 'wheat,' long carried as a surname before its rare use as a first name.
