Zorro, derived from Spanish 'zorro' meaning 'fox', is an intriguing given name of Spanish origin. It was popularized as a fictional character by American pulp magazine writer Johnston McCulley in his 1919 story 'The Curse of Capistrano'. The name Zorro, which translates to 'fox', has since been associated with the character's cleverness and agility, reflected in his iconic quick wit and exceptional swordsmanship. Although it originated as a pseudonym for the masked vigilante, today it stands alone as a distinctive choice for a first name.
In 2022 and 2023 combined, there were twelve babies named Zorro.
