From Latin scorpiō, “scorpion,” Scorpio is a modern given name drawing on the Western zodiac sign and the ancient constellation.

Given-name use is rare and largely contemporary, surfacing in late-20th- and early-21st-century records among parents favoring celestial or edgy nature names alongside Aries and Libra. It functions as a unisex choice. Variants and cognates include Scorpius (Latin/astronomical), Escorpio (Spanish), Scorpion (English word form), Skorpios (Greek), Scorpione (Italian), and Escorpião (Portuguese); Scorpia appears as a modern feminine elaboration. Possible nicknames are Sco, Scorp, and Rio.
