Nemecio is Spanish in Origin.

Nemecio is a Spanish masculine name, a regional spelling of Nemesio derived from Late Latin Nemesius and Greek Nemesios, meaning “of Nemesis.” Through its link to the Greek goddess of retributive and distributive justice, the name conveys senses like “divine justice,” “righteous retribution,” or “dispensing what is due.” In Christian contexts the theophoric origin was reinterpreted morally; notable bearers include Nemesius of Emesa, a 4th‑century bishop-philosopher, and Saint Nemesius of Alexandria, which sustained ecclesiastical usage.

The form appears in Iberian records and spread through Spanish colonial regions, with Nemecio particularly documented in Mexico, Central America, the Andean countries, and the Philippines from the 18th to early 20th centuries; it is rare today. Variants and cognates include Nemesio (standard Spanish), Nemésio (Portuguese), Nemesio (Italian), Nemesios (Greek), and Nemesius (Latin). Feminine counterparts Nemesia and Nemesía occur in Spanish and Italian traditions.
