Serafito Origin and Meaning

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

Serafito is a rare masculine name that appears to be a diminutive form of Serafín, the Spanish version of Seraphim. The name derives from the Hebrew word "seraphim," referring to a class of celestial beings described in Biblical texts as fiery, six-winged angels who surround God's throne. The suffix "-ito" in Spanish indicates affection and smallness, giving the name a warm, endearing quality. Serafito carries strong religious overtones while maintaining a melodic, rhythmic sound characteristic of Spanish and Italian naming traditions. The name's rarity offers distinctiveness, while its connection to angelic imagery evokes purity, protection, and spiritual devotion. The four-syllable structure gives it a musical, flowing quality when pronounced.
