About Kahlo
A small number of parents are inspired to choose Frida Kahlo's surname for their sons and daughters each year. The Mexican artist had German ancestry from her father's side, and Kahlo is actually German in origin. It comes from kahl, meaning "bald."
Kahlo for girls
Contrary to popular belief, the name Kahlo has German origins, rather than Spanish. It derives from kahl, a German word meaning "bald." Mexican Artist Frida Kahlo was born to a German father, photographer Guillermo Kahlo.
Kahlo is given to baby girls and boys in roughly equal numbers each year. It's a modern hero name — the names of virtually all baby Kahlos were inspired by Frida.
Pronounced KAH-loh.
As of October 2026, Kahlo ranked #12929 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #6129 in 2020.
