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.”
Giovanni
“Giovanni is the Italian masculine form of John, from the Latin Iohannes, from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious". It is one of the most common masculine names in Italian history and literature, borne by painters (Giovanni Bellini), poets (Giovanni Boccaccio), and legendary lovers (Don Giovanni). It is frequently contracted to Gianni or Gian.”
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.”
Maurizio
“Maurizio is an Italian masculine given name, the Italian form of Maurice, derived from the Latin Mauritius — itself from Maurus meaning "dark-skinned" or "from Mauretania" (North Africa). The name was popularized in Europe through Saint Maurice, a Roman soldier and Christian martyr executed in 286 AD, who became patron of several Italian cities. It remains a classic Italian male name.”
Madonna
“From the Italian ma donna, meaning "my lady" — a respectful form of address equivalent to the English "Madam." It became one of the most important titles for the Virgin Mary in Roman Catholic tradition during the 13th century and inspired a vast tradition of religious art. Its use as a personal name is rooted in Marian devotion, particularly in Catholic Italian and Spanish communities.”
Angelo
“Angelo is an Italian masculine given name from the Greek angelos meaning "messenger" — the Greek translation of the Hebrew mal'akh meaning "messenger of God". In Italy, Angelo has been one of the most widely used masculine names since the medieval period, carried by popes, artists, and saints. Michelangelo (Michele Angelo) combines the name with that of the Archangel Michael, and the name is embedded in Italian culture at the deepest level.”
