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.”

Oretta

“Oretta is an Italian feminine given name, a diminutive of Ora, from the Latin ora meaning "prayer" or possibly from aurum meaning "gold". It appears in Boccaccio's Decameron as the name of a noblewoman to whom the story of "riding the horse" is told — giving it a significant literary pedigree in Italian literature. The name is rare and distinctly Tuscan in character.”

Ortensia

“Ortensia is an Italian feminine given name, the Italian form of Hortensia — from the Latin Hortensii, the name of the Roman plebeian gens, possibly derived from hortus meaning "garden". Hortensia, the daughter of the orator Hortensius, was celebrated in ancient Rome for her eloquence. The name entered Italian as Ortensia and is associated with the hydrangea flower (ortensia in Italian), giving it additional floral associations.”

Valentina

“Valentina is an Italian, Spanish, and Russian feminine given name, the feminine form of Valentinus, derived from the Latin valens meaning "strong, vigorous, healthy". Saint Valentine made the name famous across the Western world. In Italy and Spain, Valentina has been popular since the medieval period, and remains one of the most beloved feminine names across the Romance-language world.”

Fiorenzo

“Fiorenzo is an Italian masculine given name, an Italian form derived from the Latin Florentius — meaning "blooming, flourishing, prosperous", from flos (flower). It is closely related to Florence (Firenze) itself — the city's name shares the same Latin root. Saint Florentius was a companion of Saint Martin of Tours. The name is predominantly Tuscan and represents an older, more literary form than the modern Fiorino.”

Adriano

“Adriano is an Italian and Spanish masculine given name, the Italian form of Hadrian, from the Latin Hadrianus meaning "from Hadria" — referring to the city of Hadria in Picenum (northern Italy), from which the Adriatic Sea also takes its name.
