Asdrúbal, of Basque origin, means 'noble' or 'venerable'. It is a unique and distinctive name, often associated with historical figures such as Asdrúbal the Fair, a Carthaginian general who played a significant role in the Second Punic War against Rome. The name has been used sparingly throughout history but offers an elegant and unusual choice for parents seeking something out of the ordinary. It is pronounced /æzˈdruːbəl/ in English.
