Sencio is in Origin.

Sencio is a rare Iberian given name and surname, most plausibly a clipped form of Ascencio/Asensio/Asencio, names that trace back to Latin Ascensio, "ascension," the Christian feast marking Christ's rising to heaven. In medieval onomastic practice across Spain and later in Spanish-speaking America, such feast-day names passed from given names into hereditary surnames; Sencio survives as a streamlined byform with the same uplifting sense of "rising, elevation."

Attestations are sporadic and regional, and modern use tends to be revivalist, favored for its brisk, contemporary cadence. Close variants and relatives include Ascencio, Asencio, Asensio, Asensi (Catalan/Valencian), and the feminine Ascensión/Asunción. Because of its phonetic shape, Sencio is sometimes conflated with Sancho/Sancio (from Sanctius) or linked to the Roman cognomen Senecio (from senex, "old man"), but these represent different etymologies; the "ascension" derivation remains the most supported.
