Pablo
Boy name · 12 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Pablo: 12 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2017.
From the Latin *Paulus* meaning "small" or "humble," Pablo is the Spanish form of Paul, a name that travelled far beyond its Roman roots. Its most famous bearers include the revolutionary artist Pablo Picasso and the Nobel Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda, both titans of 20th-century creativity. While no major city is named after a Pablo, countless places around the world—such as San Pablo in California and Brazil—take their name from the original Saint Paul. Though not traditionally Scottish, Pablo has steadily appeared on Scottish birth registers since the 1970s, reflecting the country's growing cultural diversity. The name also boasts a musical resonance: the simple, strummed rhythm of "Pablo" echoes in folk songs and pop lyrics alike.
