What is the meaning of the name Pi ?

The baby name Pi is a boy name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced PIE.

Pi is Latin in Origin.

As a masculine given name, Pi is best treated as a shortened form of Latin Pius, the Roman cognomen and later Christian name built on the adjective pius. In classical Latin, pius described someone dutiful toward gods, family, and country; its literal sense is pious, dutiful. The ending -us marks the masculine nominative form, while Pi represents a clipped form that drops the Latin ending rather than a separate ancient root.

Pius was borne by several popes and saints, giving its descendants a specifically Catholic profile in Europe; Italian Pio and Spanish Pío are the main vernacular forms. Pi is far rarer as a formal name, though it appears as a nickname, including Piscine Molitor Pi Patel in Yann Martel’s Life of Pi, where English readers usually say pie. In continental use connected with Pius, the pronunciation is closer to pee.
