US Popularity:18812
Origin:Spanish
Meaning:Jaguar
Like a cub, baby Nahuel will rely on you to teach them everything they need to know before being let out into the wild. Typically given to boys, Nahuel is a Spanish moniker that stems from the Mapuche term nawel, meaning “jaguar.” With the third-biggest cat in the world as their namesake, baby will be inspired to run fast and protect their pack. In ancient Mesoamerican culture, the animal was considered divine. Some said the jaguar had the ability to move between worlds because they could see at night, while others thought they were of the stars. A symbol of strength across many civilizations, baby Nahuel will find power in their name.
