MEANING & HISTORY
What does Pacifico mean?
Pacifico is documented as an Italian form of Latin Pacificus. The Latin formation combines pax, peace, with facio, to make or do, producing the sense peaceable.
This is the name’s linguistic explanation; an ocean or geographic association is not required to account for it. The precise Pacifico spelling is retained independently of accented forms in other languages.
