ORIGIN OF MY NAME: (If you've ever wondered ...)
ALEXIS ARGUELLO - Nicaraguan professional boxer who was world featherweight, junior-lightweight, and lightweight champion between 1974 and 1982.
ALEXIS Arguello, who became a professional fighter in 1968, fought only in his homeland until 1974, when he went to Panama to seek the World Boxing Association’s featherweight title. Arguello lost this match in a 15-round decision to Ernesto Marcel. Later that year, however, he claimed the WBA title by virtue of his 13th-round knockout of Ruben Olivares. After four successful title defenses at featherweight, Arguello moved up to junior-lightweight and knocked out Alfredo Escalera in the 13th round of their 1978 match to gain the World Boxing Council’s (WBC’s) championship title in that division.It's a very common name for men in the Latino community. So there ya go!
