History & Origin
Inocencio is the Spanish Innocent, from the Latin innocentius, 'innocent, harmless.' A virtue name with deep Christian roots and a papal history, it has been given mainly in Hispanic families and stayed uncommon in the United States. We honor its devout meaning directly.
Inocencio appeared in modest numbers through the twentieth century, peaking around 1967 with still only about fifteen boys a year. A man named Inocencio at that peak would be in his late fifties today, and the name keeps its gentle, faith-rooted meaning.
