Pacificia Origin and Meaning

The name Pacificia is a girl's name.

Pacificia is a rare feminine name derived from the Latin word 'pacificus,' meaning 'peaceful' or 'peacemaking.' With roots that connect to the Pacific Ocean (also named for its once-perceived calmness), Pacificia carries connotations of tranquility, harmony, and serenity. This uncommon name may also reference the Franciscan missionary Saint Pacificus of San Severino. Though seldom used in mainstream American naming, Pacificia has occasionally appeared in communities with Latin American or Filipino heritage, where variants of peaceful names hold cultural significance. The name offers a distinctive option for parents seeking a meaningful name with a gentle yet powerful presence, conveying wishes for a peaceful life for their daughter.
