Rigo

Rigo is a boy's baby name of Spanish origin, a short form of Rigoberto, from the Germanic Ricbert, meaning 'bright, illustrious ruler' — combining ric (power, ruler) and beraht (bright, shining).

Common in Latin American communities, Rigo has the easy, informal warmth of Spanish nicknames that become standalone names — like Memo (for Guillermo) or Cuco (for Refugio). It's a name with Germanic origins that has been thoroughly naturalized into Spanish-speaking culture, carrying both European etymology and the warmth of Latin American naming affection.
