Prisca
“Prisca is a Latin feminine given name meaning "ancient, venerable, primeval" — from the Latin adjective priscus. Saint Prisca (Priscilla) of Rome was an early Christian martyr, and the name appears in the New Testament in Paul's letters as Prisca/Priscilla, the wife of Aquila, one of the first Christian missionaries in Europe. As an Italian and French name it remains rare and archaically dignified.”
Maurizio
“Maurizio is an Italian masculine given name, the Italian form of Maurice, derived from the Latin Mauritius — itself from Maurus meaning "dark-skinned" or "from Mauretania" (North Africa). The name was popularized in Europe through Saint Maurice, a Roman soldier and Christian martyr executed in 286 AD, who became patron of several Italian cities. It remains a classic Italian male name.”

It is essentially the Italian adjectival form of Marco/Marzio, meaning "dedicated to Mars" or "born in March". The name is used primarily in Italy, especially in Tuscany and Lome, and represents one of the many Italian names that preserve the direct Latin connection to the Roman pantheon.”
