Rodrygo is Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Rodrygo is a modern Brazilian Portuguese variant of Rodrigo, reshaped with a fashionable y, while retaining the same roots and meaning. The name ultimately descends from the Germanic elements hrod "fame, renown" + ric "ruler, power," yielding the sense "famous ruler" or "renowned leader." Through the Visigoths it entered Iberian Latin as Rodericus, which evolved in Spanish and Portuguese to Rodrigo; Rodrygo appears chiefly in Brazil from the late 20th century onward.

Usage is firmly anchored in Iberian history: King Rodrigo (Roderic), the last Visigothic ruler of Hispania, and the Castilian hero Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (El Cid). The patronymics Rodríguez (Spanish) and Rodrigues (Portuguese) derive from it. Close variants include Rodrigo, Roderigo, Roderick/Rodrick (English), Roderich (German), and the short forms Rui/Ruy (Portuguese), Roi (Galician), Rodri (Spanish), and Brazilian Digo/Digão. Contemporary visibility comes via footballer Rodrygo Goes.
