Placidus is a soft and sweet boy’s name of Latin origin, inspired by the Italian name Placido, meaning “quiet” or “calm.” If you’re a parent who could definitely do with some hush in the house, there’s no harm in holding onto Placidus for that ray of hope. Placidus may work wonders for baby’s bedtime, too. From the silvery sound of its “Cs” to the pitter-patter of its “Ps,” it might be just enough to lull your little one to sleep!
