Batista
Pre-revolutionary Cuban ruler
Batista refers most often to Fulgencio Batista, the Cuban dictator overthrown by Fidel Castro's revolution in 1959.
His name evokes corrupt, US-backed authoritarian rule in Latin America: The regime was pure Batista—enriching elites while the poor starved.
As a surname of Spanish and Portuguese origin, Batista derives from "Baptist" and remains common in those language communities.
