Character Name
Furio
Furio Furio embodies the Roman concept of furor — the divine fury that possessed warriors and orators alike, that terrifying creative energy which the Romans recognized as both dangerous and necessary to greatness. The gens Furia produced some of Rome's most decisive military commanders, and the name carries an expectation of decisive, passionate action rather than patient deliberation. A character named Furio is unlikely to be found waiting on the sidelines when something must be done.

Cristina
“Cristina is the Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian form of Christina, derived from the Latin "Christianus" meaning "a Christian" or "follower of Christ", from the Greek "Christos" (the anointed one). The name spread widely through the veneration of Saint Christina the Astonishing and other early Christian martyrs named Christina. It has been among the most consistently popular feminine names across southern Europe.”
Ayana
“From the Amharic/Ethiopian Ayana meaning "beautiful flower" or "forever blooming", or from the Native American (Cherokee or other) origin meaning "eternal blossom". It may also derive from the Somali ayana meaning "luck, good fortune". The name appears across multiple unrelated cultures with overlapping themes of beauty, bloom, and favorable fortune.”
Assunta
“From the Italian assunta meaning "assumed, taken up", the past participle of assumere, from the Latin ad (to) and sumere (to take). The name refers to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the Catholic doctrine that Mary was taken bodily into heaven at the end of her life. It is one of the most distinctively Italian Catholic given names, particularly common in Southern Italy and Sicily.”
Mattia
“The Italian form of Matthias, from the Greek Matthaias, itself a variant of Mattityahu, the Hebrew name meaning "gift of God" or "gift of Yahweh". Matthias was the apostle chosen by lot to replace Judas Iscariot among the Twelve, making the name a symbol of unexpected election and divine selection among the ordinary.”
Travis
“From the English surname Travis, derived from the Anglo-French travers meaning "crossroads, crossing place", from the Old French traverser meaning "to cross". Traverser derives from the Latin transversus (turned across), from trans (across) and vertere (to turn). Travis thus means "one who lives or works at a crossing" — a ferryman or toll-keeper at a river ford or road junction.”
Annette
“A French diminutive of Anne, from the Latin Anna, itself from the Hebrew Hannah meaning "grace, favor" or "God has favored me" — from the Hebrew root chanan meaning "to be gracious". The diminutive -ette suffix gives the name a particularly French affectionate quality. Hannah was the name of the mother of the prophet Samuel in the Old Testament.”
