Parents considering Spanish boy names for their son might be considering Santiago, Angel or Mateo.

According to baby-naming consultant Pamela Redmond, Spanish names for boys are getting more popular in the U.S., because many follow the trend of having an "o" ending.

"Parents who are Hispanic and not are choosing Spanish boy names such as Arlo, Hugo and Mateo," Redmond tells TODAY.com

Redmond shared that Spanish name popularity is different in Europe versus the countries of South America and Latin America, which is more common in the U.S.

"Spanish names popular in the U.S. most closely mirror those most popular in Mexico and other Latin American countries," she says.
