Xolo Maridueña is an American actor and model. He stars as Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle in the film Blue Beetle. He is also known for his roles on the series Parenthood, Cobra Kai, Cleopatra in Space, and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, the latter two in voice performance.
His birth name Ramario is a portmanteau of the names of his uncles Ramón and Mario. He practices West African religion Ifá.
Xolo’s maternal grandfather was Ramon Francisco Sanchez Morales (the son of Ramon Sanchez Morales and Luz Maria Morales). Xolo’s grandfather Ramon was born in Mexico City, Mexico.
Xolo’s maternal grandmother was Margarita Carmen Bravo (the daughter of Guadalupe Rico Bravo and Olivia Pulido). Margarita was born in Nevada, to Mexican parents. Guadalupe was born in Ixtlán, Michoacan, the son of Nicanor Bravo and Juanita. Olivia was born in Zamora, Michoacán.
In the caste system Xolo means child born of a mestizo and a native american parent. So in simple math that would be 75% native american, 25% european.
That’s not the origin of his name in this case. Apparently it comes from the Aztec god “Xolotl”.
