Any Spanish speaking members here?

I got a query if i may...

I've been told that the name "Nitro" means "beautiful black boy" in Spanish....well i have my doubts. If you could clear this up for me, i would be greatly appreciative

Negre is black that I know of as in frijholes de Negre (Black Beans) all you who speak it better than I feel free to correct me or my spelling Nitro is short for Nitro Methane (Top fuel dragster) gas

I don't really know much Spanish, but I'm 99% sure it's not used in that way (unless it is Mexican slang as my knowledge is limited to the most formal Castellan dialect.)

Negro = black (pronounce it correctly!)
Niño = boy

Nitro- is a latin/greek root that means native soda or saltpeter. The element nitrogen was named so becuase it forms saltpeter.

So none of the roots match up. Again, if we are talking Mexican slang, then maybe but we would need a Mexican to let us know for sure (or that Mexican can start using the term as you defined it.)

Just being a friendly Cunning Linguist.

I have lived in enough places where Spanish is spoken to know that Nitro is not used like that here.

Beautiful black boy would be muchacho negro hermoso or nino negro hermoso.

I suspect that Nitro may be the personal name of a beautiful black boy, not a generalism.
