Cruz

The name Cruz is a boy's name of Spanish origin meaning "cross". For a single-syllable Latino surname, this new popular kid on the block packs a lot of energy and charm and is one of the most stylish Spanish names for boys in general use today. Victoria and David Beckham named their third son Cruz, following Brooklyn and Romeo, and it was also picked up on by tennis star Lleyton Hewitt for his son. Other parents may prize its Christian associations. Cruz is very much a unisex name in the Spanish culture, and is also a common surname, as in Penelope and Celia.
