Adriano
“Adriano is an Italian and Spanish masculine given name, the Italian form of Hadrian, from the Latin Hadrianus meaning "from Hadria" — referring to the city of Hadria in Picenum (northern Italy), from which the Adriatic Sea also takes its name. Emperor Hadrian (76–138 AD), one of Rome's greatest emperors and builder of Hadrian's Wall, gave the name imperial prestige throughout the Mediterranean world.”
Fiorenzo
“Fiorenzo is an Italian masculine given name, an Italian form derived from the Latin Florentius — meaning "blooming, flourishing, prosperous", from flos (flower). It is closely related to Florence (Firenze) itself — the city's name shares the same Latin root. Saint Florentius was a companion of Saint Martin of Tours. The name is predominantly Tuscan and represents an older, more literary form than the modern Fiorino.”
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.”
Angelo
“Angelo is an Italian masculine given name from the Greek angelos meaning "messenger" — the Greek translation of the Hebrew mal'akh meaning "messenger of God". In Italy, Angelo has been one of the most widely used masculine names since the medieval period, carried by popes, artists, and saints. Michelangelo (Michele Angelo) combines the name with that of the Archangel Michael, and the name is embedded in Italian culture at the deepest level.”
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.”
Jacopo
“Jacopo is an Italian masculine given name, the Italian form of James/Jacob, from the Hebrew Ya'akov meaning "supplanter" or possibly "may God protect" — from the root akev meaning "heel" (relating to Jacob's birth story). The name entered Italy through the Latin Jacobus and became a classic Venetian and Tuscan name, borne by many Italian Renaissance artists including Jacopo Tintoretto, Jacopo della Quercia, and Jacopo Pontormo.”
