Horazio is Italian in Origin.

Horazio is an uncommon, cross-lingual spelling of a name rooted in the Roman gens Horatius, the source of English Horatio and Horace, Spanish Horacio, Italian Orazio, Catalan Horaci, and Portuguese Horácio. The family name is probably of Etruscan origin; although its exact meaning is uncertain, Latin speakers associated it with hora ("hour, time"), yielding interpretive senses such as "timekeeper," "of the hours," or "timely." Horazio thus reads as a hybrid bridging Horacio and Orazio.

Usage echoes famous bearers: the poet Quintus Horatius (Horace), Shakespeare's steadfast Horatio in Hamlet, Admiral Horatio Nelson, and painter Orazio Gentileschi. While widespread in Romance languages, the Horazio spelling itself remains rare and modern, appearing in diaspora communities and creative naming. Related forms include Horatius, Horatio, Horace, Horacio, Orazio, Horaci, and Horácio; feminine counterparts like Horacia exist. Nicknames may include Ori, Razi, and Ace.
