Paola
“Paola is the Italian feminine form of Paul, from the Latin Paola — feminine of Paulus meaning "small, humble". It is one of the most classic Italian feminine names, used across all regions of Italy. Saint Paula of Rome (347–404), a wealthy Roman widow who became Jerome's collaborator in Bethlehem and founded monasteries there, gave the name early Christian prestige. It remains a timeless staple of Italian feminine naming.”
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.”
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.”
Tosca
“Tosca is an Italian feminine given name derived from Tosca, a word for a woman from Tuscany (Toscana), from the Latin Tuscia — the region of the Etruscans. The name became world-famous through Giacomo Puccini's opera Tosca (1900), based on Victorien Sardou's play, in which Floria Tosca is a passionate Roman opera singer whose love and courage lead to tragedy. Before Puccini, Tosca was rarely used as a given name.”
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.”
Lidia

It is used across Italy and Spain as a classic feminine name.”
