Giuliana
“Giuliana is an Italian feminine given name, the Italian feminine form of Giuliano (Julian), from the Latin Julianus — a derivative of Julius, the ancient Roman family name possibly related to the Greek word for "soft-haired" or to Iovilius meaning "devoted to Jupiter". Saint Julian gave the name Christian prestige throughout Italy. Giuliana is the feminine counterpart of Giuliano and has been used in Italy since the medieval period.”
Oretta
“Oretta is an Italian feminine given name, a diminutive of Ora, from the Latin ora meaning "prayer" or possibly from aurum meaning "gold". It appears in Boccaccio's Decameron as the name of a noblewoman to whom the story of "riding the horse" is told — giving it a significant literary pedigree in Italian literature. The name is rare and distinctly Tuscan in character.”
Rosalino
“Rosalino is an Italian and Spanish masculine given name, a masculine form of Rosalina, itself derived from Rosa (from the Latin rosa meaning "rose") combined with the Germanic element lind meaning "soft, tender, flexible". It is found especially in southern Italy and in some Spanish-speaking communities. The name combines the floral beauty of Rosa with the Germanic -lind suffix that passed into the Romance languages through medieval naming.”
Terzo
“Terzo is an Italian masculine given name meaning "third", from the Latin tertius. It belongs to the tradition of ordinal birth-order names common in Italian peasant and working-class culture — a practical system of distinguishing children that gave names like Primo (first), Secondo (second), Terzo (third), and Quinto (fifth). Such names are found across northern and central Italy, particularly in rural Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy, and Tuscany.”
Marcello
“Marcello is an Italian masculine given name, the Italian form of Marcellus, a diminutive of Marcus — itself derived from Mars, the Roman god of war. Saint Marcellus I was an early pope, lending the name ecclesiastical prestige in Italy. The name is broadly distributed across Italy but carries particular associations with Roman antiquity and with 20th-century Italian cultural life through figures such as actor Marcello Mastroianni.”
Marzio
“Marzio is an Italian masculine given name derived from the Latin Martius meaning "of Mars" — relating to Mars, the Roman god of war. 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.”
