Also Latvian from Roderick.
Rodrigo had been Portugal's most popular boy name in 2007 & 2009-2012 with 2541 and 2216 boys being given this name in 2011 and 2012 respectively.From 2013 onward, it's in 2nd place out of 100 behind João with 1897 and 1783 boys being given the name Rodrigo in 2013 and 2014 respectively.
Rodrigo is the Spanish form of Rodrigh, also accepted in Galicia and Portugal. Nevertheless, there are more actochthonous forms of "Rodrigo" in these areas:
Roi = Rodrigo in Galician (my son is called Roi ;-))
Rui = Rodrigo in PortugueseThey are the hypocoristic versions of Rodrigo used during the Middle Ages in these regions. For instance, the famous Spanish warrior, "El Cid Campeador", whose name was Rodrigo Díaz seems to be called "Rui" according to different sources.I think the forms Roi and Rui deserve to be included in your page. Regarding the use of Rui and Roi in Portugal and Galicia respectively, I can give you examples of famous bearers of both:Galicia: Rodrigo Romaní; Roi Casal (both musicians at different stages of the very well know Galician musical group, "Milladoiro", which I strongly recommend)Portugal: Rodrigo Leao (musician, "Madredeus"); Rui Costa (football/soccer player)
