MEANING & HISTORY

What does Inocencio mean?

Inocencio is the Spanish form of Latin Innocentius, the name behind English Innocent. Latin innocens describes someone harmless or free from wrongdoing, built from a negative prefix and the verb for harming.

The name was preserved through Christian naming and papal use. Its grammatical meaning explains the inherited name; it is not a judgment about a bearer’s conduct.
