Guccio is Italian in Origin.

Guccio is an Italian medieval given name rooted in Tuscany, a hypocoristic built with the affectionate suffix -uccio. It derives from Ugo (Hugh), ultimately from the Germanic element hug-, meaning “mind, heart, spirit.” The form aligns with related medieval variants Uguccio and Uguccione, while the patronymic surname Gucci developed from the same base. As such, Guccio carries the sense of “the thoughtful/spiritful one,” with a warm, familiar coloring typical of -uccio names in central Italy.

The name is well attested in communal-era records: notable bearers include the Sienese goldsmith Guccio di Mannaia (late 13th–early 14th century). In the 20th century it gained modern visibility through Guccio Gucci (1881–1953), founder of the fashion house, cementing a sophisticated association. Today Guccio remains rare but recognizable in Italy. Related forms and variants include Ugo, Ugolino, Uguccio, Uguccione, and the surname Gucci.
