Lucio is Latin in Origin.

Lucio is the Italian and Spanish form of the Latin praenomen Lucius, ultimately from lux, "light," and the verb lucere, "to shine," yielding the sense of "light" or "born at dawn." It traveled into the Romance languages through Christian and classical usage; in Portuguese the equivalent is Lúcio. The name’s luminous imagery made it appealing to early Christians and later humanists, and it remains familiar across Southern Europe and Latin America.

Usage has been reinforced by saints and popes named Lucius (notably Pope Lucius I, 3rd century), as well as by Italian Renaissance naming fashions. Lucio appears in Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure and is borne by notable modern figures such as singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti, artist Lucio Fontana, and Brazilian footballer Lúcio. Close variants include Lucius, Luciano, Lucian, and French Lucien; feminine counterparts are Lucia, Lucía, and Lúcia. Common nicknames and diminutives include Lu, Lucho (Spanish), and Lucinho (Portuguese).
