Portuguese is the sixth most spoken language in the world, officially spoken in 9 countries. The “sweet and gracious” language is one of the Indo-European languages, and is considered to be a ‘Romance language.’

Names of Portuguese origin have a melodic pronunciation. The love for this language is perhaps why so many people choose names of Portuguese origin for their kids.
