Esco, of Latin origin, means "standard-bearer" or "flag carrier." It is derived from the Latin word "sc�," which signifies "standard" or "flag." Esco was once a popular name in Italy but has since become quite rare.
The name Esco experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with peaks occurring around World War I and a resurgence in the late 20th century. However, it has never been among the most popular names, as evidenced by the total of only 304 births recorded over the course of more than a century.
