Trigo is Spanish in Origin.

Trigo is an Iberian word-name deriving from Spanish and Portuguese trigo, “wheat,” ultimately from Latin triticum (“threshed grain”). As a given name it carries earthy imagery of harvest, nourishment, prosperity, and community, echoing agricultural cycles and abundance.

Used primarily as a surname across Spain, Portugal, and their diasporas since medieval times - often identifying a grower, merchant, or someone living by wheat fields - Trigo has seen occasional modern use as a minimalist, nature-leaning first name in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking regions (and sometimes in the Philippines). It is generally considered unisex. The form is stable across Iberian languages; affectionate diminutives include Triguito (Spanish) and Triguinho (Portuguese). Related by sense and history are surnominal forms like del Trigo and the descriptive trigueño (“wheat-toned”), though these are not direct given-name variants. Pronunciation typically follows the source language: Spanish [TREE-go], Portuguese [TREE-goo].
