Infante Family History

Infante Name Meaning

Spanish: from infante literally ‘child’ (see 2 below) but in Spain also a title borne by the eldest sons of noblemen before they inherited and in particular by the son of the king of Castile; thus the surname probably originated either as a nickname for one of a lordly disposition or as an occupational name for a member of the household of an infante. Compare Ynfante . Italian: nickname for someone with a childlike disposition from infante ‘child’ (from Latin infans literally ‘one who cannot speak’).
