- Francisco
Origin:
Spanish, PortugueseMeaning:
"free man"Description:
Francisco is one of the more popular Spanish names for boys in the US, which is unsurprising given its popularity back in Spain and Portugal as well as Latin America, coupled with its classic status. It also has a cool hipster vibe to it, given the reputation of the city of San Francisco.
- Gaspar
Origin:
Spanish variation of Casper, Dutch form of Jasper, PersianMeaning:
"bringer of treasure"Description:
The name of one of the Three Wise Men from the East is heard in several European countries, but rarely in the US. Last year about 50 baby boys were named Gaspar in the US vs. about 200 named Casper, still haunted for some by the cartoon ghost. Root name Jasper is by far the most popular of the group.
- Joaquim
Origin:
Portuguese variation of Joachim, HebrewMeaning:
"established by God"Description:
A softer take on Joaquin or a quirkier version of Joachim, depending on how you look at it.
