More Italian names
Angela
“Angela is a feminine given name derived from the Latin angelus, from the Greek angelos meaning "messenger" or "angel". The name entered the Romance languages through the Christian tradition, where angels were God's divine messengers. Saint Angela Merici, founder of the Ursuline order in 16th-century Italy, was one of the name's most influential bearers.”
Paola
“Paola is the Italian feminine form of Paul, from the Latin Paola — feminine of Paulus meaning "small, humble". It is one of the most classic Italian feminine names, used across all regions of Italy. Saint Paula of Rome (347–404), a wealthy Roman widow who became Jerome's collaborator in Bethlehem and founded monasteries there, gave the name early Christian prestige. It remains a timeless staple of Italian feminine naming.”
Giovanni
“Giovanni is the Italian masculine form of John, from the Latin Iohannes, from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious". It is one of the most common masculine names in Italian history and literature, borne by painters (Giovanni Bellini), poets (Giovanni Boccaccio), and legendary lovers (Don Giovanni). It is frequently contracted to Gianni or Gian.”
Zaccaria
“Zaccaria is the Italian form of Zacharias, from the Hebrew Zekharyah meaning "God has remembered", composed of zakhar (to remember) and Yah (God). In the Bible, Zechariah is both a minor prophet and the father of John the Baptist. The Italian Zaccaria is an archaic, distinctly religious name found in older Italian naming traditions, particularly in Venice (where it was associated with the church of San Zaccaria) and in the broader Catholic liturgical calendar.”
Osea
“Osea is the Italian form of Hosea (or Osee), from the Hebrew Hoshea meaning "salvation" or "God saves" — from the root yasha meaning "to save". In the Bible, Hosea is one of the twelve minor prophets, whose book is notable for its use of marriage as a metaphor for God's covenant with Israel. As a given name in Italy, Osea is archaic and rare, found in older religious naming traditions, particularly in the Veneto and Lombardy.”
Luna
“Luna is a feminine given name from the Latin luna meaning "moon". In Roman mythology, Luna was the divine personification and goddess of the moon, equivalent to the Greek Selene. The name has been used in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese since the medieval period, and in the 21st century has become one of the most fashionable names across the Romance-language world and beyond.”
