In the early 1990's the U.S. Census Bureau projected the Hispanic-origin population would be the largest growing group. These projections also revealed that by the year 2000, the Hispanic-origin population might increase to 31 million (The official 2000 Census count was 35.3 million/12.5% of U.S. population), to double its 1990 (22.4 million) size by 2015 (that would be 44.8 million), and quadruple its 1990 size by the middle of the next century (89.6 million).

Latino's in America are the fastest significant population of students. 1986 to 1995, Latino's have dramatically increased in percentage in Elementary and Secondary. White American has decreased, while the majority of black students remained the same in percentage.

Latino baby names are everywhere now, and you only have to look at some of the more popular baby name lists to know that the whole world loves them! Latino names are some of the most beautiful names from which to choose, and they are certainly pleasing to the ear. Is it any wonder that many parents love to give their children names from the Latino culture?
