MEANING & HISTORY
What does Dalmacio mean?
Dalmacio comes from Latin Dalmatius, an ethnic or geographical name meaning Dalmatian, from Dalmatia on the eastern Adriatic. The Real Academia Galega confirms the exact Spanish form and its root.
The region’s deeper Illyrian name may have a sheep-related explanation, but that is a separate qualified layer. The direct personal-name gloss is from Dalmatia.
