Gabriele
“Gabriele is the Italian masculine form of Gabriel, from the Hebrew Gavri'el meaning "God is my strength", a compound of gever (strong man) and El (God). The Archangel Gabriel — divine messenger of the Annunciation — gave the name its Christian prestige. In Italy, the name is inseparable from Gabriele D'Annunzio, the flamboyant poet, playwright, and proto-fascist hero of Italian letters who dominated cultural life at the turn of the 20th century.”
Raffaella
“Raffaella is the Italian feminine form of Raffaele (Raphael), from the Hebrew Rafa'el meaning "God has healed", composed of rapha (to heal) and El (God). The Archangel Raphael, healer and guide of travelers, gave the name its Christian prestige. In Italy the name carries additional cultural weight through Raffaello Sanzio (Raphael), the supreme painter of the High Renaissance, whose work defined the ideal of serene, luminous beauty.”
Valentina
“Valentina is an Italian, Spanish, and Russian feminine given name, the feminine form of Valentinus, derived from the Latin valens meaning "strong, vigorous, healthy". Saint Valentine made the name famous across the Western world. In Italy and Spain, Valentina has been popular since the medieval period, and remains one of the most beloved feminine names across the Romance-language world.”
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.”
Giovanna
“Giovanna is the Italian feminine form of Giovanni (John), derived from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning "God is gracious." It is the Italian equivalent of Jane, Joan, or Joanna. While primarily Italian, the name is used in some Slavic coastal regions — particularly among Italian-speaking communities along the Adriatic — and carries a Mediterranean elegance.”
Jacopo
“Jacopo is an Italian masculine given name, the Italian form of James/Jacob, from the Hebrew Ya'akov meaning "supplanter" or possibly "may God protect" — from the root akev meaning "heel" (relating to Jacob's birth story). The name entered Italy through the Latin Jacobus and became a classic Venetian and Tuscan name, borne by many Italian Renaissance artists including Jacopo Tintoretto, Jacopo della Quercia, and Jacopo Pontormo.”
