What is the meaning of the name Honorato ?

The baby name Honorato is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish/Italian/Portuguese: [o.noˈɾa.to]; English approximation: oh-no-RAH-to.

Honorato is Latin in Origin.

Honorato is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Latin Honoratus, meaning “honored,” “esteemed,” or “venerable.” The name spread with early Christianity and appears across Romance languages: Italian Onorato, French Honoré and Honorat, and Catalan/Occitan Honorat; the learned Latin Honoratus also occurs in ecclesiastical records. Though related in sense to Honorio/Honorius, Honorato derives from a different Latin root and keeps the specific “one who has been honored” nuance.

Usage is strongest in Iberia and Latin America, with additional presence in the Philippines and Brazil; it also survives as a surname. Catholic tradition reinforced the name through Saint Honoratus of Arles (feast 16 January) and Saint Honoré/Honoratus of Amiens, patron of bakers (16 May). Feminine counterparts include Honorata (Spanish/Portuguese/Polish) and Onorata (Italian). Today Honorato is uncommon yet retains a dignified, virtue-tinged character and a timeless, courtly sound.
