What is the meaning of the name Nazario ?

Nazario is Latin in Origin.

Nazario is the Spanish and Italian form of Late Latin Nazarius, ultimately linked to Greek Nazōraios/Nazarēnos “Nazarene,” meaning “from Nazareth.” Many scholars also connect it to Hebrew nāzīr, “consecrated, set apart,” so the name blends senses of “man of Nazareth” and “one dedicated to God.” Portuguese uses the accented Nazário.

In use since Late Antiquity, the name spread through the veneration of early Christian martyrs named Nazarius - often paired with Celsus - leaving a footprint in church dedications and place names, notably French Saint‑Nazaire. Today Nazario is uncommon but familiar in Italy, Spain, and parts of Latin America. Variants and related forms include Nazarius (Latin), Nazaire (French), Nazários/Nazarios (Greek), Nazário (Portuguese), Nazariy/Nazarij (East Slavic), and short forms such as Nazar, Nazo, and Zario; feminine counterparts include Nazaria/Nazária. Italian surnames like Nazzaro and Nazari reflect the same root.
