Virgilio

Origen y significado de Virgilio

Virgilio comes from the Latin Vergilius, the name of a Roman gens, later linked to virga 'rod, shoot' and the idea of flourishing growth. It is inseparable from Publius Vergilius Maro, the supreme poet of the Aeneid, who lends it unmatched literary prestige. Used in Italy and the Spanish-speaking world as Virgilio, it stays fairly rare but rich in cultural dignity. It evokes poetry, wisdom and a serene classical grandeur.
