There’s so much joy that comes with preparing for the arrival of a new baby boy. But let’s face it: The excitement of naming them just can’t be beat—and if you find yourself just as hooked on Mexican boy names as we are, you couldn’t have come to a better place.

In Mexico, choosing the right name for the newest, coolest kid in your family crew is a well-thought-out process that often ties in religion and family tradition. Because Roman Catholicism is one of the most prominent faiths in Mexican culture, many parents, for example, opt for boy Mexican names from the Christian Bible—as well as names inspired by patron saints and religious figures. And while Mexican Spanish is one of the nation’s most widely spoken languages (and the language some of the most popular Mexican male names come from), you’ll find many Indigenous monikers that originate from Nahuatl and different Mayan tongues in this hand-picked selection too.

So whether you decide to say “hola” to your little niño with something rare, spiritual, native or of-the-moment, we’re positive you’ll find the perfect pick in our assortment of Mexican baby boy names. (Also, don’t forget to check out our larger Mexican Baby Names list for more boy and girl inspiration!).
