Braulio is Spanish in Origin.

Braulio is a Spanish and Portuguese masculine name, from Latin Braulius, introduced in Visigothic Iberia; its enduring prominence owes much to 7th-century Saint Braulio of Zaragoza, a scholar allied with Isidore of Seville. The name persisted in Spain and Portugal through the Middle Ages, later traveling to Latin America, where it remains familiar though relatively uncommon.

Etymology is Germanic but debated: it likely compresses elements akin to brand (firebrand, sword) and wulf (wolf), giving a sense of "fiery wolf" or "sword-wolf," though some scholars instead connect it to roots meaning "bright, shining." Variants include Portuguese Bráulio, Catalan Brauli, and the Spanish feminine Braulia; nicknames/short forms such as Brau, Brauli, and Braulito also occur. The name conveys vigor, learning, and devotion thanks to its saintly bearer.
