It is the Italian equivalent of the Spanish Salvador and was used as a Christian name in honour of Jesus Christ as the saviour of mankind.

Rosa
Italian · “Rosa is a feminine given name of Latin origin meaning "rose", the flower. It is used across Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan, where it has been a beloved name since the medieval period. Saint Rose of Lima (Rosa de Lima), the first person born in the Americas to be canonized, made the name especially popular across the Spanish-speaking world.”

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.”
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.”
Marcello
“Marcello is an Italian masculine given name, the Italian form of Marcellus, a diminutive of Marcus — itself derived from Mars, the Roman god of war. Saint Marcellus I was an early pope, lending the name ecclesiastical prestige in Italy. The name is broadly distributed across Italy but carries particular associations with Roman antiquity and with 20th-century Italian cultural life through figures such as actor Marcello Mastroianni.”
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.”
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.”
Giuliano
“Giuliano is an Italian masculine given name, the Italian form of Julian, from the Latin Julianus — a derivative of Julius, possibly related to the Greek word for "soft-haired" or to Iovilius meaning "devoted to Jupiter". The name carries in Italy the shadow of Giuliano de' Medici, younger brother of Lorenzo the Magnificent, murdered in the Pazzi Conspiracy of 1478 in Florence Cathedral — one of the most dramatic events of the Renaissance.”
