Ignacius is a masculine name that represents a variant spelling of Ignatius, derived from the Roman family name Egnatius, possibly of Etruscan origin. The name gained prominence through Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order, and Saint Ignatius of Antioch, an early Christian martyr. While the standard spelling Ignatius is more common, Ignacius offers a slight variation that maintains the name's dignified historical roots while softening its appearance slightly. The name carries connotations of fiery devotion—partly due to the folk etymology connecting it to the Latin word ignis meaning "fire." Though uncommon in contemporary use, Ignacius possesses a strong, classical quality with intellectual and religious associations that appeal to parents seeking a distinguished name with historical depth.
