It's hard not to hear the name Paulo and instantly think of Scottish singing sensation Paulo Nutini. This boy's name (also spelt Paolo) has a couple of different origins, with primary roots in Latin and Italian, as it stems from the traditional name, Paul. Paul, a Biblical figure and one of the 12 Apostles, means "small" or "humble." No doubt you would want your special boy to practice humility in life and put aside ego in favor of compassion. Paulo is considered a very popular Portuguese name and has a unique European feel to it that is bound to be a hit stateside, too!
