Meaning & origin
Esiquio is a rare Spanish given name that appeared briefly in the United States during the early 20th century. Social Security records show its first recorded use in 1920, with a peak in 1925. The name has not been recorded in recent years, suggesting it has fallen out of common use. It likely derives from the Hebrew name Ezequiel (Ezekiel), meaning 'God strengthens', and was brought to the U.S. by Spanish-speaking families. With no known top states of concentration, Esiquio remains an obscure choice, appealing to those seeking a distinctive name with biblical roots.
