Laredo

US Popularity Rank: 12106

Origin: Spanish

Meaning: Occupational title for granary worker

Laredo is a boy's name of Spanish origin and comes from the occupational title for someone who works in a granary. Many will be familiar with Laredo as the Texas city on the Mexican border but less so with this new cowboy country-inspired baby name. With Austin and Dallas firmly established, Laredo is the next name to bolt from the Texas stable. From 1960s TV Westerns to Johnny Cash ballads, Laredo has made its mark in popular culture. All that's left is for your little one to make their mark and figuratively put Laredo back on the map.
