Giuliano
“Giuliano is an Italian masculine given name, the Italian form of Julian, from the Latin Julianus — a derivative of Julius, possibly related to the Greek word for "soft-haired" or to Iovilius meaning "devoted to Jupiter". The name carries in Italy the shadow of Giuliano de' Medici, younger brother of Lorenzo the Magnificent, murdered in the Pazzi Conspiracy of 1478 in Florence Cathedral — one of the most dramatic events of the Renaissance.”
Adriano
“Adriano is an Italian and Spanish masculine given name, the Italian form of Hadrian, from the Latin Hadrianus meaning "from Hadria" — referring to the city of Hadria in Picenum (northern Italy), from which the Adriatic Sea also takes its name. Emperor Hadrian (76–138 AD), one of Rome's greatest emperors and builder of Hadrian's Wall, gave the name imperial prestige throughout the Mediterranean world.”
Zaccaria
“Zaccaria is the Italian form of Zacharias, from the Hebrew Zekharyah meaning "God has remembered", composed of zakhar (to remember) and Yah (God). In the Bible, Zechariah is both a minor prophet and the father of John the Baptist. The Italian Zaccaria is an archaic, distinctly religious name found in older Italian naming traditions, particularly in Venice (where it was associated with the church of San Zaccaria) and in the broader Catholic liturgical calendar.”
Giacinta
“Giacinta is an Italian feminine given name, the Italian form of Hyacinth, derived from the Greek hyakinthos — the name of a beautiful youth in Greek mythology whom Apollo loved, and from whose blood the hyacinth flower sprang. The name entered Italian through the Latin Hyacinthus and is the feminine counterpart of Giacinto. It is associated with Saint Giacinta Marescotti, an Italian nun canonized in 1807.”
Paola
“Paola is the Italian feminine form of Paul, from the Latin Paola — feminine of Paulus meaning "small, humble". It is one of the most classic Italian feminine names, used across all regions of Italy. Saint Paula of Rome (347–404), a wealthy Roman widow who became Jerome's collaborator in Bethlehem and founded monasteries there, gave the name early Christian prestige. It remains a timeless staple of Italian feminine naming.”
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.”
