Meaning and history

Pacífica is the Spanish feminine form of Pacificus, from Latin pacificus, meaning “peaceful” or “peacemaker,” literally “making peace.” The word is also associated with the Pacific Ocean, named for its apparently calm waters by Ferdinand Magellan. As a personal name it can carry both Christian virtue and geographical associations. The accent marks Spanish stress and should be preserved. Reliable prominent real-life bearers using this exact form are uncommon.
