Zaccaria
“Zaccaria is the Italian form of Zacharias, from the Hebrew Zekharyah meaning "God has remembered", composed of zakhar (to remember) and Yah (God). In the Bible, Zechariah is both a minor prophet and the father of John the Baptist. The Italian Zaccaria is an archaic, distinctly religious name found in older Italian naming traditions, particularly in Venice (where it was associated with the church of San Zaccaria) and in the broader Catholic liturgical calendar.”
Nazzareno
“Nazzareno is an Italian masculine given name meaning "man from Nazareth" — a surname-turned-given name derived from the place name Nazaret, Jesus's hometown in Galilee. The word Nazareth's origin is disputed, possibly from the Hebrew netzer meaning "branch" or from an Aramaic root. The name Nazzareno refers directly to Jesus as the Nazarene, and in Italy carries profound devotional significance, particularly in central Italy.”
Lia
“Lia is an Italian feminine given name, the Italian form of Leah, from the Hebrew Le'ah whose meaning is debated — possibly "weary" or "wild cow", or from an Akkadian root meaning "mistress" or "ruler". In the Bible, Leah is the elder daughter of Laban and first wife of Jacob. In Italian culture, Lia became a classic name through Dante's Purgatorio, where Lia (Leah) appears as a symbol of the active life.”
Ortensia
“Ortensia is an Italian feminine given name, the Italian form of Hortensia — from the Latin Hortensii, the name of the Roman plebeian gens, possibly derived from hortus meaning "garden". Hortensia, the daughter of the orator Hortensius, was celebrated in ancient Rome for her eloquence. The name entered Italian as Ortensia and is associated with the hydrangea flower (ortensia in Italian), giving it additional floral associations.”
Rosalino
“Rosalino is an Italian and Spanish masculine given name, a masculine form of Rosalina, itself derived from Rosa (from the Latin rosa meaning "rose") combined with the Germanic element lind meaning "soft, tender, flexible". It is found especially in southern Italy and in some Spanish-speaking communities. The name combines the floral beauty of Rosa with the Germanic -lind suffix that passed into the Romance languages through medieval naming.”
Neri
“Neri is an Italian masculine given name derived from the Florentine short form of Ranieri, itself from the Germanic Raginhari composed of ragin meaning "counsel" and hari meaning "army". In Florence the name was associated with the Neri political faction (the Black Guelphs) who clashed with the Bianchi (White Guelphs) in Dante's era. As a standalone given name it remains distinctively Tuscan.”
