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.”
Giuliano
“Giuliano is an Italian masculine given name, the Italian form of Julian, from the Latin Julianus — a derivative of Julius, possibly related to the Greek word for "soft-haired" or to Iovilius meaning "devoted to Jupiter". The name carries in Italy the shadow of Giuliano de' Medici, younger brother of Lorenzo the Magnificent, murdered in the Pazzi Conspiracy of 1478 in Florence Cathedral — one of the most dramatic events of the Renaissance.”
Giacinta
“Giacinta is an Italian feminine given name, the Italian form of Hyacinth, derived from the Greek hyakinthos — the name of a beautiful youth in Greek mythology whom Apollo loved, and from whose blood the hyacinth flower sprang. The name entered Italian through the Latin Hyacinthus and is the feminine counterpart of Giacinto. It is associated with Saint Giacinta Marescotti, an Italian nun canonized in 1807.”
Alberto
“Alberto is the Italian and Spanish masculine form of Albert, from the Old High German Adalbert composed of adal meaning "noble" and beraht meaning "bright, famous" — thus "nobly bright" or "illustrious noble". It was a name of Germanic aristocracy that spread across Europe with the Carolingian and later Holy Roman Empire traditions. In Italy and Spain, Alberto has been a classic masculine name since the medieval period.”
Lia
“Lia is an Italian feminine given name, the Italian form of Leah, from the Hebrew Le'ah whose meaning is debated — possibly "weary" or "wild cow", or from an Akkadian root meaning "mistress" or "ruler". In the Bible, Leah is the elder daughter of Laban and first wife of Jacob. In Italian culture, Lia became a classic name through Dante's Purgatorio, where Lia (Leah) appears as a symbol of the active life.”
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.”
