What Does the Name Nicasio Mean?
Nicasio is a masculine given name of Greek origin meaning victorious or victory. It comes from the Greek personal name Nikasios (Νικάσιος), built on níkē (νίκη), 'victory,' with a suffix that gives the sense 'victorious' or 'of victory.' Latin adopted the name as Nicasius, and this Latin form is the direct source of Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian Nicasio. The French form is Nicaise. The common short gloss 'victory' is a customary simplification; the fuller etymological sense is 'victorious.'
