The name can be traced back to the 4th century, when Saint Eusebius of Vercelli, an Italian bishop and writer, lived. His Latin works, including his treatise on the life of St. Anthony, helped popularize the name in the region.

In the Middle Ages, the name Eusebio appeared in various Italian records and manuscripts, such as the Codex Diplomaticus Cavensis, a collection of documents from the Abbey of Cava in southern Italy, dating back to the 9th century.

He was known for his military exploits and served under various Italian rulers, including the Papal States and the Republic of Florence.

Another notable figure was Eusebio Kino (1645-1711), an Italian Jesuit missionary and explorer who established numerous missions in present-day Mexico and the southwestern United States. He is credited with exploring and mapping large portions of the region, including parts of Arizona and Sonora.
