The name originates from an ancient tale; According to village history, the name can be attributed to Giano and Epeo, 'Pace di Giano' (the peace of Giano), others believe it comes from the ancient Pacianati di Festo or from Pacino, nephew to King Volpinio called Lucullo, and yet another idea that Paciano took its name from the roman family Pacia, which is mentioned frequently in the ancient writings of this area and particularly in the history of Tuscany.
