Character Name

Furio

Meaning — From the Latin Furius, the name of an ancient Roman patrician gens. The name derives from the Latin furia meaning "fury, rage" or from the root fur meaning "thief" in some interpretations, though the gens Furia was one of Rome's most prestigious clans, producing censors, consuls, and dictators. The Italian form Furio retains the name's Roman patrician gravitas.·Latin origin·Male·FOO-ree-oh

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.
