Aguedo is Spanish in Origin.

Aguedo is a masculine given name of Iberian Romance origin, ultimately from the Greek agathos “good, kind, virtuous,” transmitted through the Late Latin Agathus/Agatho. It entered Spanish and Portuguese as Águedo, with the parallel feminine Águeda; cognates include Spanish Agatón (from Agathon) and Italian/Latin Agato/Agatho. The core meaning centers on moral goodness and benevolence.

Use is attested in medieval and early modern parish records in Spain and Portugal and later in colonial-era communities, which explains scattered modern bearers in Latin America and the Philippines. The name has often been bestowed in honor of Pope Saint Agatho and, by association, Saint Agatha, giving it a discreet devotional flavor. Variants and spellings include Águedo, Aguedo (unaccented in many records), and the less common Agüedo; related forms are Águeda/Agueda (feminine) and Agatón. Accent and diacritics vary by orthographic convention and personal preference.
