He is a fourth-generation Irish American.[14] In his infancy, his family gave him the nickname "Beto", a common Spanish-Portuguese nickname for first names ending in "-berto", initially to distinguish him from his namesake grandfather.[

So, obviously, as an INFANT, he saw the political clout he'd gain by having a nickname that sorta kinda maybe might sound Hispanic while running for governor there one day.
