Character Name
Cesidia
Cesidia Cesidia is a name deeply embedded in the local Latin identity of Ciociaria — the ancient region of Lazio south of Rome that preserves some of the oldest continuous naming traditions on the Italian peninsula. Its rarity outside this region gives it the quality of a name that belongs entirely to place, inseparable from the landscape of Latin hills and the memory of the Roman countryside. A character named Cesidia carries this intense rootedness, a sense of identity as something grown from particular soil rather than chosen.

Dino
“An Italian short form of names ending in -dino, particularly Bernardino or Gherardino, from the Germanic elements combining with the suffix -ino. It can also function as a diminutive of names with the element dino from the Germanic theud meaning "people" or from the Greek deinos meaning "terrible, powerful". In modern Italian it is commonly a standalone given name.”
Nathen
“A variant spelling of Nathan, from the Hebrew Natan meaning "he gave" or "gift", from the root natan meaning "to give".

The spelling Nathen is an American phonetic variant of the traditional form.”

Gwendolen appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae as the first queen of Britain, who after divorcing her husband Locrinus defeated him in battle and ruled alone.”
Tristano
“The Italian form of Tristan, from the Celtic Drustan (or Drystan), related to the Pictish personal name. The name was later associated by medieval writers with the Latin tristis meaning "sad". Tristano is the Italian form as used in the medieval Italian prose romance Tristano Riccardiano and other Arthurian texts that circulated in Italy during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.”
Luce
“From the Latin lux (genitive lucis) meaning "light". In Italian the name functions as both a feminine given name and a word meaning light itself, giving it an unusual directness of meaning. It shares its root with Lucius, Lucy, and Lucia, all part of the ancient Roman naming tradition that honored light as a primal virtue.”
