MEANING & HISTORY
What does Aniceto mean?
Aniceto is the Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian form of Latin Anicetus. The Latin form transmits Greek Aniketos, meaning unconquerable.
An early pope bore this name, helping give the family a Christian transmission history alongside its Greek vocabulary ancestry. The root expresses the idea of not being defeated rather than an actual title bestowed on a soldier. Its final o belongs to the Romance-language form of the inherited name.
