Etymology / Origin
The given name “Pablo” is the Spanish form of “Paul,” derived from the Latin Paulus meaning “small” or “humble.” The surname “Vierci” is of Italian origin; it is a variant of “Vieri” or “Verci,” which are patronymic surnames derived from given names such as “Vieri” (a form of “Victor”). Uruguay’s population includes a substantial Italian immigrant component, which explains the presence of Italian surnames such as Vierci.
