“Delgado” is a Spanish and Portuguese word meaning “thin” or “slender.” It is most commonly used as a surname in Spanish-speaking countries, tracing back to a nickname for a slim person. The name is prominent in the arts and sports, such as with actress Lauren London’s character in “ATL” and real-life figures like baseball player Carlos Delgado. In a different context, it also refers to José Delgado, a pioneering neurophysiologist known for his work in mind control through electrical brain stimulation. Therefore, “Delgado” can be a physical description, a family name, or a historical reference.
