Meaning & origin
Conrado is a Spanish and Portuguese form of Conrad, meaning 'bold counsel'. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1912 and reached its peak popularity in 1919, during the height of the 1910s. After a long decline, it has been rising in use since 2021, suggesting a revival of interest in classic Iberian names. While still rare (1 in 189,786 babies in 2025), its trajectory indicates a slow but steady comeback, appealing to families seeking a distinctive name with historical depth.
Conrado is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Conrad, derived from the Germanic elements 'kuoni' (bold, brave) and 'rad' (counsel). Introduced to the Iberian Peninsula through the Visigoths, it has been used in Spain and Portugal since the Middle Ages, though it has never been as common as in German-speaking countries.
