Meaning & Origin
a male given name
Jairo is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, the Spanish form of Jairus, from the Hebrew Ya'ir meaning "he will enlighten" or "God enlightens." In the New Testament, Jairus was the synagogue ruler whose daughter Jesus raised from the dead.
Jairo has been a consistent name in Hispanic and Latin American communities, where this biblical name carries both spiritual depth and a familiar, warm sound. With over 11,000 U.S. births recorded, it has been a quiet but steady presence in Spanish-speaking American families.
