Honorio has maintained a steady presence in the United States since records began in 1940, though it has never been common. The name reached its peak rank in 1994, and as of 2025 it remains in use with a rank of 10,695. Given the trajectory, it is considered a stable name, not subject to sudden spikes or declines. While it has not been associated with a specific top state in recent decades, Honorio continues to be chosen by families honoring Hispanic heritage or seeking a classic Latin-based name with a dignified meaning.
Honorio is the Spanish form of the Latin name Honorius, derived from 'honor' meaning honor or esteem. It was borne by several early saints and a Roman emperor, and has been used in Spanish-speaking countries since the medieval period. The name has remained in occasional use, particularly in the Philippines and Latin America.
