What is the meaning of the name Flavio ?

The baby name Flavio is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Italian: /ˈflaːvjo/ (FLAH-vyo),Spanish: /ˈflaβjo/ (FLAH-vyo),Portuguese: /ˈflavju/ (FLAH-vyoo),English: /ˈfleɪvi.oʊ/ or /ˈflɑːvi.oʊ/ (FLAY-vee-oh or FLAH-vee-oh).

Flavio is Latin, Spanish in Origin.

Flavio is the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese form of the Roman name Flavius, from the Latin adjective flavus, meaning “golden, blond.” In antiquity it marked the powerful gens Flavia, most famously the Flavian emperors Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian, and it appears in early Christian martyrologies via saints named Flavius/Flavian. The sense of “fair-haired, golden” lends the name an aura of radiance and prestige.

Use persisted in Italy and the Iberian world, saw humanist revival during the Renaissance, and today feels classic yet global across Europe and Latin America. Notable variants include Portuguese Flávio, Romanian Flaviu, French Flavien, and the learned Latin/English form Flavius; related feminine forms are Flavia and Portuguese Flávia. Nicknames such as Flavinho (pt) and Flavi work in informal contexts. Cognates and surnominal offshoots underscore its deep Roman roots while keeping a bright, modern profile.
