Liberato

US Popularity Rank: 12043

Origin: Portuguese

Meaning: Freedom; Liberty; Civil status as a free man

Liberato is the Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish form of Liberatus, originating in Late Latin Liberatus. Derived from the Latin lībĕr, meaning "freedom," "liberty," and "civil status as a free man," Liberato empowers everyone to be themselves without limits. Liberato is likely a play on Liber, otherwise known as Dionysus, the god of wine, fertility, and freedom in ancient Rome, whose festival celebrated free speech and human rights. Beyond its ancient roots, Liberato has a rather heroic ring that we're sure your little one will wear as an honorary badge and cape!
