MEANING & HISTORY
What does Severo mean?
Severo is the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese form of Severus. The Roman name has a Latin sense of sternness, which explains its relationship to the English word severe without making that English word its source.
Its documented history includes early saints. An etymological adjective describes how the name developed, not the temperament of its present bearer.
