Huascar is a distinctive given name of Incan origin, meaning 'emperor' or 'lord of abundance'. It was borne by several rulers of the Incan Empire, most notably Huáscar, son of Huayna Cápac and half-brother to Atahualpa. The name has since become associated with power and prestige in Andean culture.
In 1997, there were five babies named Huascar born that year, with no other recorded births under this name in subsequent years.
