What is the meaning of the name Delio ?

The baby name Delio is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced DEH-lee-oh (English: /ˈdɛ.li.o/); Spanish/Italian: DEH-lyoh (/ˈde.ljo/).

Delio is Greek in Origin.

Delio is a masculine given name rooted in Latin Delius, the epithet of the god Apollo meaning "of Delos," from the Greek island where Apollo and Artemis were born. The underlying Greek adjective Delios ultimately relates to dēlos, "manifest, clear," lending the name connotations of light, revelation, and artistry.

In use across Italy and the Spanish-speaking world since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Delio appears in civil records and modern culture through figures such as Italian poet Delio Tessa, football manager Delio Rossi, and Argentine-Italian striker Delio Onnis; Spain adds cyclists like Delio Fernández. The Portuguese spelling Délio is established in Portugal and Brazil. Related forms include the Latin Delius and the feminine Delia; occasional short forms are Del and Lio. Usage remains uncommon but steady, valued for its classical sheen and concise, melodious sound.
