Necho Origin and Meaning

The name Necho is a boy's name of Portuguese origin.

Necho is a masculine name with ancient Egyptian origins, most notably associated with Pharaoh Necho II who ruled Egypt in the 7th century BCE. The name is mentioned in biblical texts, particularly in relation to this pharaoh's military campaigns. The original meaning in ancient Egyptian is uncertain, though some scholars suggest connections to protection or strength. As a given name, Necho is exceedingly rare in modern times, making it a truly distinctive choice with historical gravitas. Its short, strong-sounding syllables give it a bold quality, while its ancient origins provide a sense of timelessness and connection to one of the world's oldest civilizations.
