Gringo (/ËÉ¡rÉªÅÉ¡oÊ/ , [ËÉ¡É¾iÅÉ¡o] , [ËÉ¡É¾Ä©É¡u]) is a term, mainly used in Spanish-speaking and in Portuguese-speaking countries, to refer to any foreigner. The word was originally used in Spain to denote any foreign, non-native speakers of Spanish.ne theory has it that there was no mention of the word gringo, in any publication in New Spain, or what would later be Mexico, until 1847, following the US occupation of northern Mexico during the MexicanâAmerican War.
Folk etymology: It has been said that gringo originated in Mexico during the Mexican-American war because Americans would sing the song Green Grow the Lilies.. As the word originated in Spain long before there was a Spanish-speaking Mexico, there is no truth to this urban legend.ringo. Etymology: The origin of the Spanish word is uncertain, although it is likely to have come from griego, the word for Greek.. As in English, in Spanish it has long been common to refer to an unintelligible language as Greek (It's Greek to me, or  Habla en griego ).
