About Malo
Malo, the name of an important sixth century Breton saint who founded St. Malo, the charming port town in Brittany -- is considered quite au courant in France right now, ranking firmly in the Top 100.
Saint Malo of Aleth, a patron saint of lost items, was consecrated the first Bishop of Aleth. He was also known as Maclou, Maclovius and, in Italian, Macuto. Malo is worth thinking about as a highly unusual alternative to Milo, although, word of warning: malo means "evil" or "bad" in Spanish, which, depending on where you are in the world, could be something to keep in mind before you choose it.
Pronounced MAH-lo.
As of October 2026, Malo ranked #7493 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3517 in 1972.
