Gina
“Gina is an Italian short form of names ending in "-gina", most commonly Luigina, Georgina, or Regina. Regina derives from the Latin "regina" meaning "queen", from "rex" (king). In Scandinavian use, Gina became popular as a short form of Georgina or as a standalone name. Its Italian roots give it a warm, Mediterranean quality that contrasts with its Germanic-Scandinavian usage contexts.”
Vincenzo
“The Italian form of Vincent, from the Latin Vincentius derived from vincere meaning "to conquer, to win". The name was borne by Saint Vincent of Saragossa, a third-century Spanish deacon and martyr whose veneration spread throughout the medieval Catholic world. Vincenzo was common in Renaissance Italy and is associated with painters, composers, and noblemen.”
Christian
“From the Latin Christianus, meaning "follower of Christ" or "one who belongs to Christ," derived from the Greek Christos ("anointed one"), which is itself a translation of the Hebrew Mashiach (Messiah). It began as a descriptive title for early Christians and gradually became a personal name throughout medieval Europe, used for both men and women.”
Gaylord
“From the Old French gaillard meaning "lively, merry, bold" — a complimentary medieval adjective for a vigorously cheerful person. The word entered Middle English as a surname and eventually became a given name in America, primarily in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The medieval French root connects it to a tradition of courtly names praising physical and temperamental vitality.”
Enrico
“The Italian form of Henry, from the Old High German Heimrich composed of heim meaning "home" and rich meaning "power, ruler" — thus "ruler of the home" or "lord of the estate". The name passed into Italian through the medieval Latin Henricus and Old French Henri. Enrico Caruso, the legendary Italian tenor, made the name synonymous with the golden age of opera.”
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.”
