Roberta
“Roberta is the Italian and Spanish feminine form of Robert, from the Old High German Hrodebert composed of hrod meaning "fame" and beraht meaning "bright" — thus "bright fame". The name entered the Romance languages via the Normans and Germanic medieval aristocracy, and in Italy became firmly established as a classic feminine name, especially in the 20th century.”
Rosalino
“Rosalino is an Italian and Spanish masculine given name, a masculine form of Rosalina, itself derived from Rosa (from the Latin rosa meaning "rose") combined with the Germanic element lind meaning "soft, tender, flexible". It is found especially in southern Italy and in some Spanish-speaking communities. The name combines the floral beauty of Rosa with the Germanic -lind suffix that passed into the Romance languages through medieval naming.”
Gabriele
“Gabriele is the Italian masculine form of Gabriel, from the Hebrew Gavri'el meaning "God is my strength", a compound of gever (strong man) and El (God). The Archangel Gabriel — divine messenger of the Annunciation — gave the name its Christian prestige. In Italy, the name is inseparable from Gabriele D'Annunzio, the flamboyant poet, playwright, and proto-fascist hero of Italian letters who dominated cultural life at the turn of the 20th century.”
Luna
“Luna is a feminine given name from the Latin luna meaning "moon". In Roman mythology, Luna was the divine personification and goddess of the moon, equivalent to the Greek Selene. The name has been used in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese since the medieval period, and in the 21st century has become one of the most fashionable names across the Romance-language world and beyond.”
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.”
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.”
