Synonyms for “último” include “final” (which also means ‘final’ in English), “postrero” (a less common word that also means ‘last’), and “definitivo” (which often translates to ‘definitive’ or ‘conclusive’).

“Último” can have several alternate meanings including referring to the most recent, for example, “el último modelo” for ‘the latest model’. It can also mean last in the sense of ‘the most recent one’.

In some contexts, “último” in slang can be used to describe something that is not cool or is of bad quality, with the idea that it is “the last thing” one would choose.
