Concepcion is Spanish in Origin.

Concepcion (Spanish Concepción) is a Spanish devotional given name rooted in Latin conceptio, “conception,” referring to the Catholic doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. It spread across Spain, Latin America, and the Philippines, flourishing from the early modern period through the mid‑20th century under strong Marian devotion. The name is primarily feminine, though occasionally unisex in some regions. Bearers often celebrate on December 8, the feast of the Immaculate Conception. In contemporary usage it has waned, yet remains culturally resonant in religious families and traditional communities.

Variants and related forms include Concepción (accented), English/French Conception, Portuguese Conceição, Catalan Concepció, Italian Concezione, and the compound María de la Concepción. Diminutives and nicknames range from Concha, Conchita, and Conchi to Chona (Philippines) and Conxi (Catalan). The name conveys themes of purity, grace, and new beginnings, and also appears as a Spanish surname independent of the given name.
