What is the meaning of the name Pompilio ?

Pompilio is Latin in Origin.

Pompilio is the Italian and Spanish form of Latin Pompilius, a Roman family name borne by the Sabine line of Numa Pompilius. The nomen is generally traced to the Oscan/Sabine personal name Pompo, probably meaning “five,” a counterpart to Latin Quintus; Pompilius thus conveys “descendant of Pompo” or “of the fifth(-born).” Related forms include Portuguese Pompílio, Romanian Pompiliu, and the learned Latin Pompilius; feminine counterparts are Pompilia and Pompília. Short forms such as Lio or Pompi occasionally arise in modern use.

The name’s historical resonance is strong: Numa Pompilius was Rome’s legendary second king, associated with religious reform and lawgiving. Later bearers include the 18th‑century Italian saint Pompilio Maria Pirrotti. While never common, Pompilio appears in Italian and Hispanic records from the Renaissance onward and survives regionally as a traditional choice. Its rare, antique profile appeals to parents seeking a dignified, classically rooted name.
