Eufemio is of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name 'Eufemia'. It means 'peaceful' or 'happy', suggesting a gentle and content nature. The name gained prominence during the Middle Ages but has since become less common. It is often associated with figures in history, such as Eufemio Feltracco, an Italian Renaissance scholar. In literature, it appears in works like 'The House of the Spirits' by Isabel Allende.
