MEANING & HISTORY

What does Honesto mean?

The Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua’s name vocabulary records Spanish Honesto alongside Valencian Honest. The matching Spanish adjective, defined by RAE, concerns decency, uprightness and honesty and descends from Latin honestus.

This establishes a useful word association while leaving any particular family’s devotional or personal reason for choosing Honesto unclaimed.
