Hugo

Herkunft und Bedeutung von Hugo

Hugo comes from the Old Germanic hug, 'mind, spirit, intelligence,' and was much loved by the medieval nobility (Ugo in Italian). It thus expresses insight, wisdom and lively thought. Today it is hugely popular in France, Spain, Portugal and the Germanic and Scandinavian regions, where it often ranks among the top boys' names, and it is appreciated in the English-speaking world too. Short, elegant and international, it blends a retro, aristocratic air with contemporary freshness, in a firm sound easily recognised everywhere.
