Hilario

Hilario is a masculine given name of Spanish and Portuguese origin. It is derived from the Latin word "hilarius," meaning "cheerful," "merry," or "joyful." The name is associated with qualities of happiness, good humor, and optimism.

The name Hilario has been used throughout history and continues to be used in various Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries, as well as in other regions with cultural ties to those languages. It is less common in English-speaking countries.

The feast day associated with Saint Hilary of Poitiers, a 4th-century bishop and Doctor of the Church, is sometimes celebrated as a name day for those named Hilario.
