Dacio is Latin in Origin.

Derived from Latin Dacius, an ethnonym meaning “of Dacia” or “Dacian” - referring to the ancient region roughly centered on modern-day Romania. The root Daci named the people subjugated by Rome under Trajan; as a cognomen, Dacius marked origin or affiliation, later adapted into given-name use across the Roman world. In Romance languages, the form Dacio (Portuguese/Spanish Dácio/Dacio) preserves this classical sense of geographic identity.

Ecclesiastical Latin sustained the name via a 6th‑century bishop of Milan known as Dacius (Italian San Dazio), which helped its survival into medieval calendars. Variants include Latin Dacius/Datius, Italian Dazio, Spanish/Portuguese Dacio/Dácio, and elaborations such as Daciano (from Dacianus); feminine counterparts are Dacia and Daciana. The name remains uncommon today, appearing sporadically in Iberia, Brazil, and occasionally Italy and Romania. Subtle, antique, and place-linked, Dacio appeals to parents seeking a pan‑Romance, history-tinged choice with the concise nickname Daci.
