Sixtus Origin and Meaning
The name Sixtus is a boy's name of Latin origin meaning "sixth born".
The name of several popes and saints, Sixtus is certainly unusual but would have trouble making it in the modern world outside the Vatican. Even worse is its brother Sextus. Try making it through seventh grade with that name.
