The baby name Ugo is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced OO-go.
Ugo is Germanic, Igbo, Italian in Origin.
Ugo has two independent etymologies. In Italian it is the vernacular form of medieval Latin Hugo, reflecting a Germanic personal name built on Old High German hugu, mind, thought, spirit; the same element underlies Hugh. In Igbo, Ugo is a lexical name from ugo, eagle, also appearing as the first element of longer names such as Ugochukwu. The two origins are unrelated despite their similar sound.
The name is established in Italy, especially alongside Hugo and the older Ugone, and is familiar through figures such as the poet Ugo Foscolo and actor Ugo Tognazzi. French usage also has Ugo as a modern spelling beside Hugo, though Hugh predominates in English. In Nigeria and the Igbo diaspora, Ugo may be given independently or used as a short form of theophoric compounds. In the United States it remains uncommon.
