Pollo is Spanish in Origin.

Pollo is a rare given name with roots in the Romance languages. In Spanish and Italian, pollo means “chicken/chick,” from Latin pullus, “young animal,” and it has long functioned as an affectionate nickname for a small or youthful person. In some families it serves as a playful short form of Apollo/Apolo (from Greek Apollōn) or of related forms like Apollonio, linking the name to the classical god of light, music, and prophecy. Related variants include Apollo (English/Italian), Apolo (Spanish/Portuguese), Apollon (French/Russian), and the feminine Apolonia/Apollonia; nicknames and near-forms include Polo and Pollito.

As a legal first name, Pollo is very uncommon and is most documented in Spanish- and Italian-speaking contexts as a byname or stage name. Given its everyday meaning, some parents opt for Apollo/Apolo on the birth certificate and use Pollo informally at home.
