What is the meaning of the name Tito ?

The baby name Tito is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TEE-toh.

Tito is Italian, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Tito is the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese form of Latin Titus, an ancient Roman praenomen attested before the imperial period and borne by the Flavian emperor Titus. The older form is Titus; its original sense is uncertain. A traditional explanation connects it with Latin titulus, inscription, label, or title, later understood as title of honor. Romance usage replaced the Latin nominative ending -us with the masculine -o.

In Christian contexts Titus became familiar through Paul’s companion, addressed in the Epistle to Titus and later associated with Crete. Tito developed as the regular Romance equivalent, especially in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Latin America, and also functions in the Philippines as a kinship term for uncle. Modern bearers include Tito Puente, Tito Gobbi, Tito Jackson, and Josip Broz Tito; literary use includes Tito Melema in George Eliot’s Romola.
