What is the meaning of the name Memo ?

The baby name Memo is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced {'ipa': '/ˈme.mo/', 'respelling': 'MEH-moh'}.

Memo is Spanish, Turkish in Origin.

Memo is a Spanish hypocoristic primarily of Guillermo, itself from Germanic Willahelm (will + helmet), yielding the meaning "resolute protector." The nickname likely arose through playful clipping and consonant echo from the -ermo ending of Guillermo to -emo. In Turkish and Kurdish contexts, Memo also serves as a familiar form of Mehmet, a vernacular of Muhammad, carrying the sense "praiseworthy." Because of these dual roots, the exact meaning depends on the source language and family tradition.

As a given name, Memo is well established across Mexico and much of Latin America and appears among U.S. Hispanic communities; it also surfaces in Anatolia as an affectionate by-name. The form is often kept informally, but since the late 20th century it sometimes appears on birth records as a standalone. Related names and variants include Guillermo, William, Wilhelm, Guglielmo, Liam, Will, Guille; and Mehmet, Mehmed, and Muhammad.
