What does Nacho Libre mean even loosely translated?

Answer 1

Nacho is a diminutive of Ignacio, a common name widely used by Spanish-speaking people. The name is a variation of the Latin Ignatius and means fiery. The translation into English of the world 'libre' is free.' Accordingly, the proper translation of the movie's title is 'Ignacio the free man', which was Nacho's name as a wrestler.

However, since the theme of the movie is 'lucha libre,' free [style] Wrestling, the name could also have connotations to it. I personally prefer the former meaning because during the day Nacho was subject to the benevolent tyranny of the monastery rules, but in the ring he was free to be himself. I hope this help.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, Nacho Libre loosely translates to "Nacho the Free." So, like, it's basically saying Nacho is free to do whatever he wants, like wrestle in a funny costume and make people laugh. It's not rocket science, just a cheesy movie title, man.

Answer 3

Well, darling, "Nacho Libre" loosely translated means "Nacho the Free." But don't go thinking you'll find any freedom in a plate of nachos, honey. Just enjoy the cheesy goodness and let Nacho do his thing in the wrestling ring.

Answer 4

Free Nachos?

Haha no it does not mean "Free Nachos". Nacho is actually a nickname for the spanish name Ignacio. In the movie, Jack Black's name is Ignacio so in the ring he calls himself "Nacho".

Lucha Libre means - "free fight" so the movie is kind of changing the title to Nacho Libre in a witty way. :) God, i sound like a nerd! haha

Answer 5

Libre means Free and Everyone knows what Nachos are so it mean Free Nachos
