Character Name
Tazio
Tazio Tazio summons the pre-Roman Sabine world, a civilization absorbed into the Roman state through both war and intermarriage, and whose name survives almost nowhere except in this rare Italianate form. Its archaic quality gives a character a certain depth of rootedness, as though they belong to a tradition older than the empires built around them. The name suits characters of quiet gravity and unshakeable cultural identity.

Tatjana
“Tatjana is the Slavic (Russian, Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian) form of Tatiana, which derives from the Roman family name Tatius — possibly of Sabine origin, borne by the Sabine king Titus Tatius who co-ruled Rome with Romulus. The Russified form Tatyana became one of the most beloved heroines in Russian literature through Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin", a cultured and emotionally genuine woman who gives her name to a celebrated soliloquy.”
Ronaldo
“The Portuguese and Spanish form of Ronald, from the Old Norse Ragnvaldr composed of regin meaning "decision, counsel" and valdr meaning "ruler, power" — thus "wise ruler" or "powerful counselor". The name entered the Iberian Peninsula through contact with Norse and later Norman culture, and Ronald itself developed from the Old English Reginwald.”
Luigi
“The Italian form of Louis, from the Old High German Hlodwig composed of hlod meaning "fame, glory" and wig meaning "war" — thus "famous in battle". The name passed into Latin as Ludovicus, into French as Louis, and into Italian as Luigi. It was borne by eighteen kings of France and by Saint Luigi Gonzaga, the Italian Jesuit patron of youth.”
Lisette
“A French diminutive of Élise or Élisabeth, from the Hebrew Elisheba meaning "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance". The diminutive suffix -ette gives the name an intimate, affectionate quality typical of the French pet-name tradition. Lisette was a common name in eighteenth-century French literature and theater as a stock name for clever maidservants.”
Magnolia
“From the genus name Magnolia, the flowering tree named by the botanist Charles Plumier in honour of the French botanist Pierre Magnol (1638–1715). The word Magnolia is thus a Latinised form of the French surname Magnol, from the Occitan magno, related to the Latin magnus, "great." As a feminine given name, Magnolia is a floral name in the tradition of Violet, Lily, and Rose, used primarily in the American South, where the magnolia is the state flower of both Mississippi and Louisiana.”
Marcella
“The Italian and Spanish feminine form of Marcellus, a Roman family name derived from Marcus — itself related to Mars, the Roman god of war, or possibly from the Etruscan. Marcella was the name of a wealthy fifth-century Roman widow who converted her household into a monastic community and was a disciple of Saint Jerome, making the name associated with learned female piety.”
