About the name Cassiano

The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) lists Cassiano among the traditional names with the ending -ano, from Latin -anu, 'originating from, belonging to'. Behind the Name explains the Roman cognomen Cassianus as derived from the family name Cassius, whose Portuguese form is Cássio. For Cassius, Behind the Name gives as a possible origin the Latin cassus, 'empty, void', and Wiktionary gives the same link to cassus, so the meaning of the base name remains uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 22,092 people named Cassiano, with a median age of 28. The name is almost always male, peaked among people born in the 1990s and, proportionally, is most common in Rio Grande do Sul.
