Neri
“Neri is an Italian masculine given name derived from the Florentine short form of Ranieri, itself from the Germanic Raginhari composed of ragin meaning "counsel" and hari meaning "army". In Florence the name was associated with the Neri political faction (the Black Guelphs) who clashed with the Bianchi (White Guelphs) in Dante's era. As a standalone given name it remains distinctively Tuscan.”
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.”
Amedeo
“Amedeo is an Italian masculine given name from the Latin Amadeus, composed of amare (to love) and Deus (God) — meaning "one who loves God" or "beloved of God". The name was carried by the royal House of Savoy — the dynasty that unified Italy — through numerous princes and kings named Amedeo/Emanuele. It is inseparable in cultural memory from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, though in Italy the name is distinctly Savoyard and Piedmontese.”
Osea
“Osea is the Italian form of Hosea (or Osee), from the Hebrew Hoshea meaning "salvation" or "God saves" — from the root yasha meaning "to save". In the Bible, Hosea is one of the twelve minor prophets, whose book is notable for its use of marriage as a metaphor for God's covenant with Israel. As a given name in Italy, Osea is archaic and rare, found in older religious naming traditions, particularly in the Veneto and Lombardy.”
Terzo
“Terzo is an Italian masculine given name meaning "third", from the Latin tertius. It belongs to the tradition of ordinal birth-order names common in Italian peasant and working-class culture — a practical system of distinguishing children that gave names like Primo (first), Secondo (second), Terzo (third), and Quinto (fifth). Such names are found across northern and central Italy, particularly in rural Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy, and Tuscany.”
Giuliana
“Giuliana is an Italian feminine given name, the Italian feminine form of Giuliano (Julian), from the Latin Julianus — a derivative of Julius, the ancient Roman family name possibly related to the Greek word for "soft-haired" or to Iovilius meaning "devoted to Jupiter". Saint Julian gave the name Christian prestige throughout Italy. Giuliana is the feminine counterpart of Giuliano and has been used in Italy since the medieval period.”
