Eldorado

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Spanish

Meaning: The golden man. gilded one

Eldorado is a boy's name of Spanish origin. This choice has a decidedly rich meaning of "the golden man" or "gilded one" and is associated with a mythical South American country and its monarch, El Dorado. As the legend goes, the fancy-pants king bathed in gold and paved the entire nation with it. With such a striking namesake, baby will undoubtedly have great taste. They'll love surrounding themselves with luxury, from 600-thread count burp cloths to a limited-edition Sophie the Giraffe. Not to worry, though! Your darling Eldorado will also have a heart of gold and be super generous with hugs and kisses.
