It could be a diminuative of Rodrigo, a spanish name, if I'm correct

There's also Rigo short form of Rigoberto, used in Spain and Italy (and probably now in other European countries as naming laws relax) from the Germanic ric ('power') + berht ('bright, shining, famous') - from this source Rigo would mean 'power'. Perhaps use or Rigoberto in Germany, Austria, etc. gave the perception that Rigo might be Hungarian?Devon

Rigó (spelled this way) - IS a Hungarian word meaning throstle (the bird) but it is NOT a Hungarian name (in Hungary, naming customs are quite different - they stick to traditional names - believe me, I'm HUngarian :-)))

Rigo may be a short for Rigoberto, of German origin, male, meaning "The one who shine for his richness"Hope this helps,Magia
