Ignasio Origin and Meaning

The name Ignasio is a boy's name of Spanish origin.

Ignasio is a variant of the name Ignacio, which has Latin origins and is derived from the Roman family name Egnatius. The name is closely related to Ignatius, meaning 'fiery one' from the Latin word 'ignis' meaning fire. Ignasio maintains the passionate and energetic connotations of its root. This masculine name is particularly popular in Spanish-speaking countries and communities, reflecting the spread of the cult of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order. While less common than Ignacio or Ignatius in English-speaking countries, Ignasio offers a slightly different phonetic quality while preserving the historical and cultural richness of the original name.
