Incencio (een-SEN-syo) is a rare Iberian Romance given name and surname form, most often a regional or orthographic variant of Spanish Inocencio, from Latin Innocentius “innocent, harmless.” In parish registers across colonial Mexico, the Philippines, and the Canary Islands, Incencio appears as a fluid spelling alongside Inocencio, reflecting pre-standardized orthography. The spelling also echoes Spanish incendio “conflagration” and incienso “incense,” giving the name an added, folk-etymological association with fire and fragrance.

Depending on the lineage adopted, meanings range from “innocent; blameless” to a symbolic “fiery/ardent” aura through popular association.
