Jesus

A popular name for boys in Spanish-speaking households, Jesus speaks directly to a family’s devotion and faith. While there are many saints’ names and appellations to honor—Maria, Lourdes, Concepcion and Pilar are but a few—for boys, there are only Jesus and Messiah. Peaking in the early 2000s, Jesus is on the decline in popularity.
