Idalio is Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Idalio is a masculine given name of Romance usage, deriving from Latin Idalius and Greek Idalios, an epithet meaning “of Idalion,” the ancient Cypriot city sacred to Aphrodite. Through poetic Latin and Italian traditions that styled Venus as Idalia, the form entered Iberian and Italian name pools; Portuguese commonly writes it as Idálio, while Spanish and Italian prefer Idalio. The name therefore carries both the literal sense “from Idalion/Idalian” and associations with beauty and love.

Use appears sporadically from the 18th–19th centuries onward, when classical revival trends popularized mythological and place-derived names in southern Europe. It remains rare but recognized in Portugal, Spain, Italy, and parts of Latin America through migration. Variants and related forms include the feminine Idalia, the Portuguese accentuated Idálio, and short forms such as Lio or Dálio. The name’s classical aura makes it a distinctive yet rooted choice.
