Murillo

Meaning of Murillo

The name Murillo, predominantly used for boys, has rich Iberian roots with a notable presence in both Spanish and Portuguese cultures. Pronounced as moo-REE-yo in Spanish and moo-REE-loo in Portuguese, this name carries a rhythmic and melodious quality that adds to its charm. A variation of the name includes "Murilo," often seen in Portuguese-speaking countries. Although Murillo is relatively rare in the United States, with only 6 newborns given this name in 2023, ranking it at 10,779th, it holds significant cultural weight and historical association. The name is perhaps best known through the Spanish painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, whose works remain influential in the Baroque art world. This artistic association might appeal to those with a love for culture and history, making Murillo a distinguished choice for their child.
