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.

“A short form of Tatiana, from the Latin Tatianus, a derivative of the Roman family name Tatius — borne by the Sabine king Titus Tatius who ruled jointly with Romulus in Roman legend. The name was popular in the Eastern Orthodox world through Saint Tatiana, a 3rd-century Roman martyr. In the English-speaking world, Tiana also functions as a creative form of Tia or Diana, and gained wide recognition through the Disney film The Princess and the Frog (2009).”
Aniyah
“A modern American variant of Aniya or Ania, which may derive from the Hebrew Hannah (meaning "grace, favor"), from the Arabic Haniyya (meaning "pleasant, delightful"), or from the Swahili Nia (meaning "purpose"). The name emerged primarily in African American communities in the late twentieth century as part of a creative naming tradition drawing on multiple cultural sources.”
Dino
“An Italian short form of names ending in -dino, particularly Bernardino or Gherardino, from the Germanic elements combining with the suffix -ino. It can also function as a diminutive of names with the element dino from the Germanic theud meaning "people" or from the Greek deinos meaning "terrible, powerful". In modern Italian it is commonly a standalone given name.”
Patience
“From the Latin patientia meaning "endurance, suffering, forbearance", derived from patiens (the present participle of pati meaning "to suffer, to endure"). The word entered English as both a virtue and a name during the Protestant Reformation, when Puritan communities favored names drawn from abstract virtues as spiritual declarations.”
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.”
Delfina
“The Italian and Spanish feminine form of Delphin, from the Latin Delphinus meaning "dolphin" or "from Delphi". The dolphin (Greek delphis) was sacred to Apollo and was his symbol as the protector of sailors, believed to carry the souls of the dead to the Isles of the Blessed. Delphi, the oracle site, derives its name from the same root. Saint Delphina of Provence was a fourteenth-century Franciscan laywoman.”
