About Pablo
Pablo, the commonly used Spanish version of Paul, has the added bonus of some fantastic artistic bearers: painter Picasso, cellist Casals, and poet Neruda. Pablo has been consistently in the US charts since records began, and has been within the Top 500 since the mid 60s. However, Pablo has never cracked the Top 200, making it familiar but not overused or tired.
Pronounced PAH-blo.
As of October 2026, Pablo ranked #430 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #284 in 2005, Nameberry popularity #683.
