Fidel

Fidel is a masculine name of Spanish origin, derived from the Latin word 'fidelis', meaning 'faithful' or 'loyal'.

The name has been used in Spanish-speaking cultures for centuries and is particularly popular in Latin American countries. It is often given to boys in the hope that they will grow up to be trustworthy and loyal individuals.

One of the most famous bearers of the name Fidel is Fidel Castro, the former revolutionary leader of Cuba. While his political legacy is controversial, the name itself has endured as a popular choice for parents seeking a strong, meaningful name for their son.

In addition to its Spanish roots, the name Fidel is also occasionally used in other cultures, though its meaning and pronunciation may vary slightly.
