Giorgio
“Giorgio is the Italian masculine form of George, from the Greek Georgios meaning "farmer, earth-worker" — derived from ge (earth) and ergon (work). Saint George (San Giorgio), the dragon-slaying martyr, is one of the most venerated saints in Italy and across the Catholic world. The name is associated with Venetian civic identity through the island and church of San Giorgio Maggiore, and with artists including Giorgio Vasari and Giorgio de Chirico.”
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.”
Neri
“Neri is an Italian masculine given name derived from the Florentine short form of Ranieri, itself from the Germanic Raginhari composed of ragin meaning "counsel" and hari meaning "army". In Florence the name was associated with the Neri political faction (the Black Guelphs) who clashed with the Bianchi (White Guelphs) in Dante's era. As a standalone given name it remains distinctively Tuscan.”
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.”
Elena
“Elena is the Italian and Spanish form of Helen, from the Greek Helene — possibly from helene meaning "torch" or related to helios meaning "sun", or from a pre-Greek word. Helen of Troy gave the name immortal literary status; in Italy and Spain, Saint Helena (Elena), mother of Emperor Constantine, gave it Christian prestige. It is one of the most widespread feminine names across the Romance world.”
Olivia
“Olivia is a feminine given name of Latin origin from oliva meaning "olive tree" or "olive", the symbol of peace and fertility in Mediterranean culture. Shakespeare coined the modern spelling in Twelfth Night (1601–02), but the name had classical precedents. It was widely adopted across Italy, Spain, and France, where the olive tree carries ancient cultural and religious significance stretching from Homer to the Christian tradition.”
