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.

Jaunita
“A variant spelling of Juanita, the Spanish diminutive of Juana, itself the Spanish feminine form of Juan (John), from the Latin Joannes, from the Greek Ioannes, from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious". The diminutive suffix -ita adds endearment. Juanita is widely used across Latin America and Spain, and among Hispanic communities in the United States.”
Gina
“Gina is an Italian short form of names ending in "-gina", most commonly Luigina, Georgina, or Regina. Regina derives from the Latin "regina" meaning "queen", from "rex" (king). In Scandinavian use, Gina became popular as a short form of Georgina or as a standalone name. Its Italian roots give it a warm, Mediterranean quality that contrasts with its Germanic-Scandinavian usage contexts.”
Manfredi
“The Italian form of Manfred, from the Old High German Manfred composed of man meaning "man" and fred/frid meaning "peace" — thus "man of peace" or "peaceful strength". 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.”
Jayde
“A modern variant of Jade, from the Spanish piedra de ijada meaning "stone of the flank", as jade was believed to cure kidney ailments. The stone's name entered English through Old French. Jade has been treasured in Chinese, Mesoamerican, and Māori cultures for millennia as a symbol of purity, wisdom, and protection.”
Luce
“From the Latin lux (genitive lucis) meaning "light". In Italian the name functions as both a feminine given name and a word meaning light itself, giving it an unusual directness of meaning. It shares its root with Lucius, Lucy, and Lucia, all part of the ancient Roman naming tradition that honored light as a primal virtue.”
Mariano
“From the Latin Marianus, a Roman family name derived from Marius, itself likely from Mars, the Roman god of war, or possibly from the Latin mas/maris meaning "male". The name was borne by several Roman generals and became common throughout the Christian world partly through association with the Virgin Mary.”
