Gordo Origin and Meaning

The name Gordo is a boy's name.

Gordo is a masculine name derived from the Spanish word meaning 'fat' or 'chubby,' often used as a nickname for someone with a stocky build. In Spanish-speaking cultures, it's commonly used as an affectionate nickname rather than a formal given name. The term gained some recognition in American popular culture through the 1950s TV show 'Gordo,' featuring a character of that name, and through 'Gordon' nicknames. As a proper name, Gordo has a friendly, approachable quality with its soft consonants and clear ending vowel. While uncommon as a formal given name in English-speaking countries, it might appeal to parents seeking a name with Hispanic cultural connections or a distinctive sound. The name carries connotations of heartiness, warmth, and a jovial personality.
