Audenico
“A rare Italian masculine name, possibly derived from the Germanic Alderic or Auderic, composed of ald/aud meaning "old, noble, rich" and ric meaning "power, ruler" — thus "old ruler" or "noble and powerful". The name is found in Northern Italian (particularly Piedmontese and Lombardy) historical records and retains an archaic aristocratic quality.”
Marcellus
“Marcellus is a Latin masculine name, a diminutive of Marcus, ultimately linked to Mars, the Roman god of war — thus "little warrior" or "young follower of Mars." It was a common cognomen in ancient Rome, borne by the general Marcus Claudius Marcellus who conquered Syracuse in 212 BC. In Polish and Slavic contexts the name carries a classical Roman authority.”
Vincenzo
“The Italian form of Vincent, from the Latin Vincentius derived from vincere meaning "to conquer, to win". The name was borne by Saint Vincent of Saragossa, a third-century Spanish deacon and martyr whose veneration spread throughout the medieval Catholic world. Vincenzo was common in Renaissance Italy and is associated with painters, composers, and noblemen.”
Anthony
“From the Latin Antonius, an ancient Roman family name of uncertain origin — possibly Etruscan. A popular folk etymology linked it to the Greek anthos, "flower," but this is not linguistically supported. The name was spread across Europe by the cult of Saint Anthony the Great (the desert father) and Saint Anthony of Padua, becoming one of the most enduring Christian names in Western tradition. The H in Anthony was added in English during the 17th century under false Greek influence.”
Santo
“From the Latin sanctus meaning "holy" or "consecrated", the past participle of sancire meaning "to make sacred". The word formed the basis of the Christian concept of sainthood and was widely adopted as a given name in Catholic Southern Europe, especially in Italy and Spain, as a direct expression of religious devotion.”
Arturo
“The Italian and Spanish form of Arthur, from the Celtic Art (or Arth) meaning "bear" combined possibly with the Brythonic viros meaning "man" — thus "bear-man". Alternatively it may derive from the Roman gens Artorius, whose origin is unknown. Arthur is the legendary king of Britain whose court at Camelot and fellowship of the Round Table became the supreme myth of medieval chivalric civilization.”
