Navaro is Spanish in Origin.

Navaro is a modern given name derived from the Spanish surname Navarro, indicating “a person from Navarre” (Spanish Navarra; Basque Nafarroa). The regional name is often linked to Basque naba “plain, valley,” so the broader sense is “one from the plains/valleys of Navarre.” The spelling with one r appears as an Anglicized or stylistic variant, paralleling other surname-to-first-name adaptations.

Use as a first name is rare but growing since the late 20th century, especially in the United States and Latin America where honorific surnames are popular. Navaro is typically masculine but can be cross‑gender. Close variants include Navarro, Navarre, Navarra, and the Basque ethnonym Nafarroa (as a toponymic reference). Diminutives and nicknames include Nav, Navo, and Navi. Related surnames with shared roots are Navarrete and Navarrés, though they are not strict variants. The name conveys heritage, geography, and a cosmopolitan sound.
