When it comes to Spanish names, you don’t always see names that start with the letter L in the United States. There are a few that are pretty common, but there’s a ton of options you can choose from that will feel unique from the rest.
The Spanish word luz translates to “light” in English, so there are several luz-derived names that have similar meanings. The name Luciano either means light or enlightened. The similar name Lucio means “one that brings light.” The name Lukas means “one who illuminates.” Names such as these may hold religious meanings for some parents, although they work well for anyone who wants their child to bring happiness and positivity into the world.
Several Spanish names evoke feelings of strength and mightiness, such as the name Leandro, which means “lion,” or Luis, a name that refers to a warrior. These names are good choices if you want your son’s name to inspire physical or emotional strength.
Another great inspirational name is Liborio, which means “complete freedom” or refers to having a feeling of absolute freedom. It’s the perfect name if you want to encourage your child to be free-spirited and explore throughout their life.
