From the same tradition

Other Christian boy names, common in Latino families

Leo
Lion, the king of beasts whose roar commands silence across the savanna — Leo is the Latin word for lion and the name of thirteen popes, one of the great constellations, and the zodiac sign of midsummer. It carries the regal confidence of an animal that fears nothing, the warmth of a golden mane in the August sun, and the compact majesty of a three-letter name that contains an entire kingdom
Hugo
Mind, intellect, the bright spirit of a keen thinker — Hugo descends from the Frankish word for mind and has been carried by dukes, saints, and one of the greatest novelists in the French language. It is a name that respects intelligence above all other qualities, a compact tribute to the power of thought, and a wager that this child's greatest weapon will be the one between his ears
Lucas
From Greek Loukas (man from Lucania; or from Latin lux, light).
Matteo
Gift of God, the Italian rendering that transforms the Hebrew original into warm Mediterranean music — Matteo takes the apostle Matthew's name and dresses it in the vowel-rich elegance of Italian, where consonants soften and syllables roll like Tuscan hills

Elijah
My God is Yahweh, the fiery prophet who rode a chariot to heaven — Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, called fire from the sky, and was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind without dying. His name burns with the absolute devotion of a man who stood alone against an entire kingdom's apostasy and won, armed with nothing but conviction and the fire of the one true God
Theodore
Gift of God, heaven's offering to the mortal world — Theodore reverses the syllables of Dorothy to create the same meaning from a masculine angle: God gives. Multiple saints and two American presidents carried this name, and it speaks of gratitude for the divine generosity that places children into families, talents into hands, and purpose into hearts that were waiting to be filled
Jack
God is gracious, by way of Jankin, a medieval English pet form of John (from Hebrew Yohanan, 'Yahweh is gracious'). Once a familiar nickname, it long ago outgrew that role to stand on its own and has repeatedly topped boys' name charts across Britain.
