Aniano Origin and Meaning

The name Aniano is a boy's name meaning "Yahweh is gracious".

With a lilting yet lively sound, Aniano is a rare Spanish name, and a variation of the late Roman name, Anianus (or Annianus). Borne by a number of popes, bishops, and writers, the exact etymology is uncertain, however, it seems plausible that the name could come from the same root as Hananiah (or Hananias) meaning "Yahweh is gracious".

Aniano could be an unexpected but still familiar alternative to Adriano, Antonio, or Arno.
