Refugio is a masculine name of Spanish origin that carries deep symbolic meaning. Translating directly to 'refuge' or 'sanctuary,' it emerged from religious contexts, referring to places of shelter and protection. In Hispanic cultures, the name gained significance through connections to 'Nuestra Señora del Refugio' (Our Lady of Refuge), a Catholic devotion to the Virgin Mary. Refugio has historical importance in Latin American communities, particularly in Mexico and the southwestern United States. While never extremely common in English-speaking regions, the name maintains steady usage in Spanish-speaking communities and carries connotations of safety, protection, and spiritual shelter. Bearers of this name often go by the affectionate nickname 'Cuco' among family and friends.
