Epifanio is a male given name of Latin origin, derived from the Latin word 'epiphaneia', which translates to 'manifestation'. This name gained popularity during the Middle Ages due to its biblical association with Saint Epiphanius, an early Christian theologian and bishop of Constantia in Cyprus. The name Epifanio is typically used in Spanish-speaking countries, as well as in Italy and other regions where Latin influences are strong. It may also be found spelled as Epiphaneo or Epifaneyo in some variations. In English, it may be transliterated to Epiphanius or shortened to Ephraim. The name Epifanio has been used for centuries but remains relatively rare, contributing to its distinctive and unique character.
The name Epifanio experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a notable peak in the early 1920s and late 1940s to mid-1950s, followed by a steady decline until the present day. The highest number of births recorded was 43 in 1924, while recent years have seen fewer than 10 births annually.
