Secondo is an Italian masculine given name derived from the Latin word "secutus," which means "following." It is often used as a diminutive of names like Giuseppe (Joseph) and Francesco (Francis). The name Secondo was popularized by Saint Secondo, a 4th-century martyr from Asti, Italy. He is venerated as the patron saint of Asti and his feast day is celebrated on June 10th. In Italian culture, Secondo is often associated with warmth, hospitality, and strong family bonds. It is also a common surname in Italian-speaking regions.
"Secondo was quite popular in 1914, with nine newborns sharing the name."
