Meaning & origin
Braulio is a Spanish and Italian name with roots stretching back to medieval times. It has been recorded in the United States since at least 1915, though its usage remained modest. The name saw its highest popularity in 2005, when it reached its peak rank, and has since been on a gradual decline. In 2025, roughly 1 in 25,119 newborn boys received the name. Braulio is most common in Texas and California, states with large Hispanic populations. The legacy of Saint Braulio of Zaragoza has contributed to its endurance, and it continues to be a recognizable choice within Latino communities.
Braulio is a Spanish and Italian name of uncertain origin. It may derive from a Visigothic name or from the Latin 'bracchium' (arm). Saint Braulio of Zaragoza, a 7th-century bishop, helped popularize the name in Spain. It has remained in steady use in Spanish-speaking communities, especially in the United States among families of Mexican heritage.
