Origin:Spanish
Meaning:Shark
Borne by a town in California and a large sea creature, the masculine name Tiburon's roots run deep. Nestled on a peninsula in the San Francisco Bay, Tiburon, CA is a beautiful seaside town. It was likely named for the prevalence of a certain animal in its waters, though you'll have to look to a different language to learn what that animal was. In Spanish, the word tiburón means "shark," suggesting that this sharp-toothed fish was once the Tiburon peninsula's primary resident! If your tiny tot becomes the newest Tiburon in town, they can say "Snap!" every time someone mentions the place that shares their name.
