Milagro is a Spanish given name derived directly from the common noun milagro, "miracle," ultimately from Latin miraculum "wonder." In Hispanic devotion it connects to titles of the Virgin Mary such as Nuestra Señora de los Milagros, which helped establish the name in the early modern Spanish-speaking world and carry it to Latin America and the Philippines. In Spanish the pronunciation is mee-LAH-groh and the sense of a grateful, hoped-for blessing is explicit.

Usage is less common than the feminine Milagros, but Milagro itself appears as a unisex choice in several countries and has seen modest adoption in the United States within Hispanic communities. Diminutives include Mila, Mili/Milly, and Milo in some families; English Miracle serves as a direct cognate. Related or regional variants include Milagros (Spanish feminine), Milagre (rare Portuguese), and surnames or toponyms like Milagres. The name also evokes folk "milagrito" votive charms.
