The name Medardo is commonly a male name.
Medardo is the Spanish and Italian form of the Germanic name Medardus, built from the elements maht, meaning might or power, and hard, meaning hardy or bold. The name is associated with Saint Medard, a sixth-century bishop of Noyon, and it is recorded in Spanish, Italian and Portuguese use in this form. It is an established name in those languages and not a modern coinage, which fits its appearance in United States records from 1915 onward.
