History & Origin

Oceano is the Italian and Spanish word for 'ocean,' used as a given name. It descends from Greek Okeanos, both the encircling world-sea and the Titan who personified it. As a name it reads romantic and elemental, and it sits comfortably with the modern taste for nature names (said 'oh-say-AH-noh').

In the U.S. it is very rare for boys. Rare, elemental, and romantic.

Did you know? Behind Oceano stands Okeanos, the Greek Titan of the great river-sea that was thought to encircle the whole world — the same word that gave English 'ocean' (said 'oh-say-AH-noh').
