Origin and meaning of Pablo
Pablo is the Spanish form of the Latin Paulus, 'small, humble' — a seemingly modest name made illustrious by towering artists. Hugely widespread across the Spanish-speaking world, from Spain to Latin America, it is among the most loved and recognisable boys' names. Thanks to figures like Picasso and Neruda it carries an aura of creativity and genius. It matches the Italian Paolo and English Paul. It evokes simplicity, talent and artistic passion.
