Where does "tico" come from?
 

Does anyone know, where the name / nickname "Tico" comes from? All I know is that it's a nickname for Costa Ricans. But Tico Torres has Cuban origins...so I was wondering if anyone here knows why Hector Torres became "Tico".

Thanks:D

Because Tico is a cooler name than Hector?

I named my camcorder Tico :cool:

This question reminds me of the time you asked where "Hitman" came from. Only, this one isn't dumb.

I have no idea, BTW. I'm gunna agree with *cough* Oli *cough*

<_< I answered my own question though.

And that was a very dark time for me :(

From what I've heard, his nickname was Hectorico, which over time just became Tico.

Because he is the King of Cuba and what he says goes!

Tico is short for Hector like Richie is short for Richard.

Like Chris is short for Chistopher.

and Christian.

Dick Sambora has quite a ring to it
