Meaning & History
Sandalio is a Spanish masculine given name. It is the Spanish form of Sandalius, which is possibly a Latinized form of a Gothic name composed of the elements swinþs meaning "strong" and wulfs meaning "wolf". The name also nearly coincides with the Latin word sandalium "sandal". Sandalio was the name of a 9th-century Spanish saint martyred by the Moors. Due to the limited available information, the name appears to be primarily of historical and religious significance within Spanish-speaking regions.
