Rodrigo arrives with the bearing of a name born in cathedrals and throne rooms. The Spanish and Portuguese form of the Germanic Roderick, meaning "famous power," it was the name of Spain's legendary eleventh-century warrior El Cid, born Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar. The name has been a steady favorite throughout the Hispanic world for a thousand years, and in America it now rests at 481. Three syllables roll with the rhythm of Romance languages, the stressed central I lending it drama. Rodrigo reads as historic and handsome, a name with a sword somewhere in its ancestry and the polish of a well-tailored suit today.
