Help baby keep the faith with the name Fidel! A masculine moniker of Latin origin, Fidel derives from the same root word as fidelity, meaning “faithful.” While this name unfortunately still does have some association with the Cuban president Fidel Casto, there are many other role models for baby to look up to, such as American boxer Fidel LaBarba and Barbadian cricket player Fidel Henderson Edwards. Plus, we have faith that your little Fidel is going to make a name for themselves and do some good in the world.
