Origin:Pacific Islander
Other Origin(s):Spanish
Meaning:God of war; Gold
Oro is a masculine name of Pacific Islander origin, not to be underestimated. Rooted in Polynesian mythology, Oro is named for the war god of Tahiti, who crafted a rainbow path between the heavens and mortal ground. On this, he would descend in the guise of a young warrior to court Vairaumati, the daughter of the first man. In Spanish, Oro means "gold," which does little to dull the name's majestic appeal. While little Oro’s life path is theirs to navigate, their name could represent all the riches they’ll find along the way.
