Meaning & origin
Serapio is a rare masculine name of uncertain origin, first recorded in the United States in 1905. It has never ranked among the top 1,000 names, and its usage remains extremely limited. The name's peak year was its first year of record, 1905, and its trajectory has been stable but vanishingly small. With no top states associated, Serapio appears sporadically across the country, likely among families with Spanish or Italian heritage.
Serapio is a Spanish and Italian given name, likely a derivative of Serapion, which itself comes from the Greek Serapion, referring to the Greco-Egyptian deity Serapis. The name was used among early Christians, notably Saint Serapion of Thmu, a 4th-century bishop. It has remained in occasional use in Spanish- and Italian-speaking communities, particularly in Mexico and parts of South America, though it is now rare.
