Origin and meaning of Innocenzo
Innocenzo comes from the Latin Innocentius, from innocens, 'innocent, incapable of harm, pure': it conveys purity of heart and uprightness. A name with a strong ecclesiastical stamp, it was borne by thirteen popes, including Innocent III, one of the most powerful pontiffs of the Middle Ages. It stays almost exclusively Italian and fairly rare, while abroad the forms Innocent, in France and England, and Inocencio in the Hispanic world appear.
