Cedro is Spanish in Origin.

Cedro is a masculine given name in the Romance sphere, drawn from Spanish and Portuguese cedro “cedar,” from Latin cedrus < Greek kedros; in Italian cedro names the citron fruit, offering a parallel botanical nuance. The cedar’s long life, aromatic wood, and role in biblical temple-building give the name connotations of strength, steadfastness, and sanctity. As a personal name, Cedro is uncommon but attested in Iberia, Latin America, and Lusophone Africa, gaining modest traction in the 20th–21st centuries alongside nature-derived naming. Diminutives appear as Spanish Cedrito and Portuguese Cedrinho; informal nicknames may shorten to Dro. Usage often appeals to families seeking a succinct, nature-symbolic alternative to names like Isidro or Pedro while remaining distinct. Not a variant of Cedric (from Old English Cerdic), though the similar sound sometimes invites comparison.
