Well-born; of noble birth.
Eugenio is a masculine name of Greek origin meaning “well-born” or “of noble birth”. The Spanish and Italian form comes through Latin Eugenius from Greek Eugenios, related to the word eugenēs. It belongs to the same name family as English Eugene, German Eugen and French Eugène; Eugenia is its feminine counterpart. The spelling stays the same in Spanish and Italian, but the middle consonant changes. Spanish Eugenio has the sound of j in José; Italian Eugenio has a sound like the j in English “jam”. Both place the stress on the middle syllable, ge. The opening Eu- and the glide into -nio give the name a rolling movement, while the full form has a composed, slightly formal elegance.
Etymology: Spanish and Italian form of Latin Eugenius, from Greek Eugenios and eugenēs, “well-born”.
