Toribio

[ˈtɔribiɔ]

Toribio is a traditional Spanish Christian name, best known for the saints Turibius of Astorga and Turibius of Mogrovejo. In Slovak, it feels unusual, distinctly Hispanic, and historical.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Španielske Toribio pokračuje v neskorolatinskom mene Turibius. Jeho hlbšia etymológia nie je spoľahlivo vyriešená; často sa spája s gréckym thórybos, teda „hluk, lomoz“, no uvádza sa aj neznámy iberský základ.
