Ignacio is a Spanish name originating from the Latin name "Ignatius" from the word "Ignis" meaning "fire". From the Roman family name Egnatius, meaning unknown, of Etruscan origin.

This was the name of several saints, including the third bishop of Antioch who was thrown to wild beasts by emperor Trajan, and by Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), founder of the Jesuits, whose real birth name was in fact Íñigo.
