Maurilio
Meaning of Maurilio
Maurilio is a masculine name of Italian origin, derived from the Latin Maurilius—a diminutive of Maurus, meaning “dark-skinned” or “Moorish.” In its native form it is pronounced mow-REE-lee-oh (/moʊˈriːlioʊ/) and carries historical resonance through figures such as Saint Maurilius of Angers. In the United States, Maurilio has remained rare but persistent since the 1920s, achieving its highest recorded rank of 512th in 1935 and most recently appearing at 913th with 11 newborns in 2024. This pattern of intermittent usage highlights its appeal to parents seeking a name that combines classical roots with a subtle European character.
