The name was borne by the thirteenth-century King Manfred of Sicily, the illegitimate son of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, whose tragic death at the Battle of Benevento (1266) was mourned by Dante in the Purgatorio.”

It was popularised in medieval Europe through Saint Dominic of Osma (1170–1221), founder of the Dominican Order.”

Cesidia

“A rare Italian feminine name, possibly derived from the Latin Caesidius, a Roman family name. It may relate to the gens Caesidia, a minor Roman clan, or derive from the Latin caedo meaning "to cut, to fell", from which the cognomen Caeso developed. The name is primarily found in the Ciociaria region of Lazio, central Italy, where it has strong local tradition.”

Dante

“An Italian short form of Durante, from the Latin Durantus/Durans meaning "enduring, steadfast", the present participle of durare meaning "to harden, to endure". The name's extraordinary cultural weight derives entirely from the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321), whose Divine Comedy remains the supreme work of Italian literature and one of the foundational texts of Western civilization.”

Isaiah

“From the Hebrew Yeshayahu meaning "God is salvation" or "Yahweh is salvation", composed of yesha' (salvation, deliverance) and Yah (a shortened form of Yahweh, the divine name). Isaiah was the eighth-century BC Hebrew prophet whose book contains the most extensive messianic prophecies in the Old Testament, including the Suffering Servant passages applied to Jesus in Christian theology.”
