Mancio is Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Mancio is a rare Romance given name most associated with Iberia, viewed as a clipped or dialectal form of Amancio. It ultimately traces to Late Latin Amantius/Amancius, from the verb amare “to love” and the participle amans “loving,” giving the meaning “the loving one” or “beloved.” The cults of several late antique bishops and martyrs named Amantius/Amans helped seed the name across Latin Christendom, with related forms appearing in medieval records of Spain, Portugal, and northern Italy.

While never widespread, Mancio surfaces in early modern sources, notably borne by the 16th‑century conquistador Mancio Serra de Leguizamón. Closely related variants include Spanish/Portuguese Amancio (Portuguese Amâncio), Italian Amanzio, French Amans/Amant, and the Latin Amantius/Amancius; feminine counterparts include Amancia (Spanish) and Amanzia (Italian). Today Mancio remains uncommon, appreciated by those seeking a heritage choice with a warm, affectionate meaning.
