About Diablo

The Spanish word for "devil" makes for a very daring baby name, but in the era of babies names Hades, Azrael, Loki and even Lucifer, it feels like a plausible possibility. Indeed, 5 baby boys were named Diablo in 1975 – the only year the name has made the US extended list for either sex.

Diablo for boys

Car manufacturer Lamborghini and motorcycle brand Derbi both have famous models named Diablo. And Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody (born Brook Busey) chose it for her pen name.

Diablo for girls

Diablo Cody, self-named (she's really Brook Busey) screenwriter of Juno, singlehandedly helped popularize not just her heroine's name and her own but all o-ending names for girls. You don't need us to tell you that it takes a brave parent, in every way, to name a baby Diablo. Diablo is one of the Spanish baby names that diverges furthest from the well-paved camino.

Pronounced dee-AH-blo.

As of October 2026, Diablo ranked #5680 in US births in 1975 SSA.
