Ignocio Origin and Meaning

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

Ignocio appears to be a variant spelling of Ignacio, a masculine name with deep Latin roots. It derives from the Roman family name Ignatius, stemming from the Latin word "ignis" meaning "fire." This connection gives the name associations with passion, warmth, and illumination. The name gained popularity through St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order. The spelling variant with "cn" instead of "c" is uncommon but creates a distinctive appearance while maintaining the traditional pronunciation (roughly ig-NAH-see-oh or ig-NAH-cho). While standard Ignacio remains popular in Spanish-speaking cultures, this variant offers a unique twist. The name carries a dignified, classical quality with potential nicknames including Iggy or Nacio.
