Considering a Spanish name for your baby boy? Top choices for Spanish boy names in the United States include Santiago, Angel, and Mateo.
According to baby naming consultant Pamela Redmond of the baby name website, Nameberry, 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 told TODAY Parents.
