Pablo

Common Hispanic name

Pablo is a Spanish given name, the equivalent of English Paul.

It remains strongly associated with Pablo Picasso, the Spanish painter, and Pablo Neruda, the Chilean poet.

In recent decades, drug lord Pablo Escobar has added darker connotations, and the name sometimes appears in slang references to cocaine or drug dealing.
