Silvia
“Silvia is an Italian feminine given name of Latin origin, from the Latin silva meaning "forest" or "woodland". The mythological Rhea Silvia was the mother of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. The name also appears in Shakespeare's The Two Gentlemen of Verona ("Who is Silvia? What is she?") and in Leopardi's celebrated poem "A Silvia", one of Italian Romanticism's finest lyrics.”
Osea
“Osea is the Italian form of Hosea (or Osee), from the Hebrew Hoshea meaning "salvation" or "God saves" — from the root yasha meaning "to save". In the Bible, Hosea is one of the twelve minor prophets, whose book is notable for its use of marriage as a metaphor for God's covenant with Israel. As a given name in Italy, Osea is archaic and rare, found in older religious naming traditions, particularly in the Veneto and Lombardy.”
Lidia
“Lidia is the Italian and Spanish feminine form of Lydia, from the Greek Lydia meaning "woman from Lydia" — the ancient region of western Anatolia (modern Turkey) famous for its wealth and for inventing coinage. In the New Testament, Lydia of Thyatira is a businesswoman and the first European convert of Paul, giving the name early Christian prestige. It is used across Italy and Spain as a classic feminine name.”
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.”
Antonella
“Antonella is an Italian feminine given name, a diminutive of Antonia — the feminine form of Antonius (Anthony), an ancient Roman family name of uncertain, possibly Etruscan, origin. The -ella diminutive suffix is characteristically Italian, giving the name a gentle, affectionate quality. It is predominantly used in southern and central Italy, where Antonia and its diminutives have been popular for centuries.”
Rosa
“Rosa is a feminine given name of Latin origin meaning "rose", the flower. It is used across Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan, where it has been a beloved name since the medieval period. Saint Rose of Lima (Rosa de Lima), the first person born in the Americas to be canonized, made the name especially popular across the Spanish-speaking world.”
