Garcillasso is Spanish in Origin.

Garcillasso is a rare Spanish masculine name, an archaic orthographic variant of Garcilaso, a medieval compound formed from Garci (an old given name of probable Basque origin, often glossed as “young”) and Laso/Lasso (a nickname from Latin lassus “weary, slack,” later a family name), with fluctuating spellings in Golden Age texts (Garcilaso/Garcilasso/Garcillasso). As a result, the composite has no single fixed translation; it is best read as a historical double name built on Garci + Laso rather than a transparent phrase.

It flourished among Castilian nobility from the 13th to 16th centuries. Its most famous bearer is the Renaissance poet-soldier Garcilaso de la Vega (1501–1536); mestizo historian Inca Garcilaso de la Vega adopted the surname in homage. Today the name survives as a literary revival in Spain and Latin America. Variants include Garcilaso (standard), Garcilasso, Garci Lasso/Garci Laso; related surnames are Laso and Lasso. Short forms may use Garci.
