Nazzareno
“Nazzareno is an Italian masculine given name meaning "man from Nazareth" — a surname-turned-given name derived from the place name Nazaret, Jesus's hometown in Galilee. The word Nazareth's origin is disputed, possibly from the Hebrew netzer meaning "branch" or from an Aramaic root. The name Nazzareno refers directly to Jesus as the Nazarene, and in Italy carries profound devotional significance, particularly in central Italy.”
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. Emperor Hadrian (76–138 AD), one of Rome's greatest emperors and builder of Hadrian's Wall, gave the name imperial prestige throughout the Mediterranean 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.”
Maurizio
“Maurizio is an Italian masculine given name, the Italian form of Maurice, derived from the Latin Mauritius — itself from Maurus meaning "dark-skinned" or "from Mauretania" (North Africa). The name was popularized in Europe through Saint Maurice, a Roman soldier and Christian martyr executed in 286 AD, who became patron of several Italian cities. It remains a classic Italian male name.”
Angelo
“Angelo is an Italian masculine given name from the Greek angelos meaning "messenger" — the Greek translation of the Hebrew mal'akh meaning "messenger of God". In Italy, Angelo has been one of the most widely used masculine names since the medieval period, carried by popes, artists, and saints. Michelangelo (Michele Angelo) combines the name with that of the Archangel Michael, and the name is embedded in Italian culture at the deepest level.”
Gelsomina
“Gelsomina is an Italian feminine given name derived from gelsomino, the Italian word for "jasmine", which came through Arabic yasmin into medieval Italian. The jasmine flower has long symbolized purity, grace, and sweetness in Italian and Mediterranean culture. The name is predominantly southern Italian and Sicilian, found especially in Campania, Calabria, and Sicily.”
