Powerful ruler or wealth of the forest
Uvaldo is a Spanish and Italian variant of the Germanic name Oswald. It combines the elements 'os' (meaning god or power) and 'wald' (meaning ruler), or alternatively 'uval' (meaning valley or forest) in some regional interpretations. It has historically been used in Mediterranean cultures but remains rare in the United States.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Uvaldo in 2025.
