About Acacius
Acacius is a Latinized form of the Ancient Greek Akakios and can be interpreted to relate to the same root as the name Acacia, for the thorn bush, or Akakios which means "not evil." With the modern taste for ancient names that end in "us," this obscure but attractive choice may have a chance of new life. Acacius is the name of three early saints.
Pronounced uh-KAY-shus.
As of October 2026, Acacius ranked #3849 in US births in 2025 SSA.
