Cipriano is Latin in Origin.

Cipriano is the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese form of the Latin Cyprianus, a Roman cognomen meaning “man of Cyprus” or “from Cyprus.” It derives from the island name Cyprus (Greek Kypros) combined with the Latin adjectival suffix -anus, lending the name a Mediterranean aura and a classical link to Kypris, an epithet of Aphrodite.

Borne by early Christian martyrs - most notably Saint Cyprian of Carthage (3rd century) in the West and, in Eastern tradition, Cyprian of Antioch - the name traveled widely as a baptismal choice and later also became a hereditary surname in Iberia and Italy. International variants include Cyprian (English, Polish), Ciprian (Romanian), Cyprien (French), Cyprián (Slovak, Czech), Kyprianos (Greek), and Ciprià (Catalan); a common diminutive is Cipri. Name days are often marked on 16 September in the West and 2 October in Eastern churches. Today Cipriano feels traditional and pan‑Iberian/Italian - familiar yet uncommon.
