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.

Antonella
“Antonella is an Italian feminine given name, a diminutive of Antonia — the feminine form of Antonius (Anthony), an ancient Roman family name of uncertain, possibly Etruscan, origin. The -ella diminutive suffix is characteristically Italian, giving the name a gentle, affectionate quality. It is predominantly used in southern and central Italy, where Antonia and its diminutives have been popular for centuries.”
Raffaella
“Raffaella is the Italian feminine form of Raffaele (Raphael), from the Hebrew Rafa'el meaning "God has healed", composed of rapha (to heal) and El (God). The Archangel Raphael, healer and guide of travelers, gave the name its Christian prestige. In Italy the name carries additional cultural weight through Raffaello Sanzio (Raphael), the supreme painter of the High Renaissance, whose work defined the ideal of serene, luminous beauty.”
Geovany
“Geovany is a variant spelling of Giovanni, the Italian masculine form of John, derived from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning "God is gracious." The unusual spelling likely reflects phonetic adaptation in Latin American communities, particularly in Brazil and Spanish-speaking countries, where creative respelling of traditional names is common.”
Lidia
“Lidia is the Italian and Spanish feminine form of Lydia, from the Greek Lydia meaning "woman from Lydia" — the ancient region of western Anatolia (modern Turkey) famous for its wealth and for inventing coinage. In the New Testament, Lydia of Thyatira is a businesswoman and the first European convert of Paul, giving the name early Christian prestige. It is used across Italy and Spain as a classic feminine name.”
Giovanna
“Giovanna is the Italian feminine form of Giovanni (John), derived from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning "God is gracious." It is the Italian equivalent of Jane, Joan, or Joanna. While primarily Italian, the name is used in some Slavic coastal regions — particularly among Italian-speaking communities along the Adriatic — and carries a Mediterranean elegance.”
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.”
