Suave, derived from Spanish and Italian origins, translates to 'smooth' or 'elegant'. It is an unusual yet sophisticated choice for a given name, often used as a middle name or in literature and art. Pronounced 'swah-veh', it carries a touch of continental flair while remaining accessible in English-speaking countries.
The name Suave experienced a peak in popularity with 17 births in 1988, but thereafter saw a steady decline to 6 births in 1990. It then maintained a relatively stable level of around 7 births per year until 1992, totaling 45 births over the five-year period.
