Meaning of Pablo

Pablo is the spirited Spanish cousin of Paul, born from the Latin “Paulus,” meaning “small” or “humble,” yet it’s anything but shy—think of Picasso splashing color like Holi powder or Neruda weaving words as smoothly as a sitar riff. Over a century of U-S baby charts shows Pablo dancing steadily in the middle ranks, a bit like a Bollywood hero who never quits the stage. The name carries a friendly, creative vibe, rolling off the tongue as PAH-bloh, bright and breezy, and it whispers to parents that even a “small” beginning can blossom into big, beautiful art.
