Agapito is of Latin origin and means 'beloved' or 'loved'. It's a name derived from the Latin word 'agape', which signifies love, especially divine love.
The name Agapito had a peak of popularity between 1924 and 1932 with consistently high birth numbers each year during this period, reaching as many as 32 births in 1924 and 1927. However, from the late 1930s onwards, its popularity began to decline significantly, with fewer than 20 births per year recorded from 1938 onward. This downward trend continued into the late 20th century and early 21st century, with only single-digit numbers of births reported in most years since the 1980s.
