"Muño" redirects here. For the non-diacritic spelling, see [Muno](/source/Muno).

**Munio** or **Muño** is a masculine given name of uncertain origin, possibly [Germanic](/source/Germanic_languages)[1] or [Latin](/source/Latin_language).[2] The accent may originally have been on the final syllable, yielding the spellings Munió, Muñó and Muñón in modern Spanish. Its [patronymic](/source/Patronymic) form is [Muñoz](/source/Mu%C3%B1oz_(disambiguation)) or [Muñiz](/source/Muniz_(surname)) (from the medieval Latin [genitive](/source/Genitive) form *Munionis*). It is etymologically distinct from the name [Nuño](/source/Nu%C3%B1o) and [Nuno](/source/Nuno_(given_name)), with which it has often been confused since the [Middle Ages](/source/Middle_Ages).[1]
