Meaning and history
Lalo is a Spanish masculine diminutive, most commonly of Eduardo. Eduardo is the Spanish form of Edward, from Old English elements meaning “wealth” or “fortune” and “guardian,” hence “guardian of prosperity.” Lalo can also shorten other names ending in a similar sound, so the full name matters. Notable bearers include Mexican composer Eduardo “Lalo” Gamboa and American musician Lalo Guerrero, a major figure in Mexican-American music.
