Persio is Latin in Origin.

Persio is an Italian and Spanish masculine name from the Latin Persius, built on Persa “Persian” with the -ius suffix; it means “Persian” or “man from Persia.” The Portuguese form is Pérsio. Despite its resemblance to Perseo (Perseus), the mythic hero, Persio descends from a different Latin root.

It is best associated with Aulus Persius Flaccus (1st century CE), the Roman Stoic satirist whose presence in school texts of late antiquity and the Renaissance kept Persius - and the vernacular Persio - familiar to scholars. The given name has remained rare yet steady in Italy and Spain, while Brazil shows the most modern usage under Pérsio. Variants and related forms include Latin Persius; Italian/Spanish Persio; Portuguese Pérsio; and the feminine or cognate names Persis and Persia. Diminutives are uncommon.
