Diablo Origin and Meaning

The name Diablo is a boy's name meaning "devil".

The Spanish word for "devil" makes for a very daring baby name, but in the era of babies names Hades, Azrael, Loki and even Lucifer, it feels like a plausible possibility. Indeed, 5 baby boys were named Diablo in 1975 – the only year the name has made the US extended list for either sex.

Car manufacturer Lamborghini and motorcycle brand Derbi both have famous models named Diablo. And Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody (born Brook Busey) chose it for her pen name.
