Aquilo is a masculine name that can be the wind beneath your little one’s wings. Borne by the Roman god of the north wind, Aquilo comes with a touch of magic and mysticism. Aquilo derives from the Latin cognomen Aquilius, from the root aquìla, and means “eagle.” In Ancient Rome, eagles symbolized immortality, courage, and strength.
