About Pedro
Pedro is one of the most familiar Spanish names for boys, via baseball star Pedro Rodriguez and many others.
Like its Anglo equivalent Peter, Pedro is not as popular as it once was. But it's among the elite group of boys' names that has ALWAYS ranked among the US Top 1000.
That final O sound, so fashionable today, gives this name an extra spin of style.
Pedro is also given to girls.
Pronounced PAY-droh.
As of October 2026, Pedro ranked #455 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #188 in 1992.
