Olivia
“Olivia is a feminine given name of Latin origin from oliva meaning "olive tree" or "olive", the symbol of peace and fertility in Mediterranean culture. Shakespeare coined the modern spelling in Twelfth Night (1601–02), but the name had classical precedents. It was widely adopted across Italy, Spain, and France, where the olive tree carries ancient cultural and religious significance stretching from Homer to the Christian tradition.”
Amedeo
“Amedeo is an Italian masculine given name from the Latin Amadeus, composed of amare (to love) and Deus (God) — meaning "one who loves God" or "beloved of God". The name was carried by the royal House of Savoy — the dynasty that unified Italy — through numerous princes and kings named Amedeo/Emanuele. It is inseparable in cultural memory from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, though in Italy the name is distinctly Savoyard and Piedmontese.”
Angelo
“Angelo is an Italian masculine given name from the Greek angelos meaning "messenger" — the Greek translation of the Hebrew mal'akh meaning "messenger of God". In Italy, Angelo has been one of the most widely used masculine names since the medieval period, carried by popes, artists, and saints. Michelangelo (Michele Angelo) combines the name with that of the Archangel Michael, and the name is embedded in Italian culture at the deepest level.”
Carla
“Carla is an Italian and Spanish feminine given name, the feminine form of Carlo/Carlos — the Italian and Spanish forms of Charles, from the Old High German Karl meaning "free man" or "man". It is one of the most widespread Italian feminine names, used from the north to the south of the peninsula. Carla became internationally associated with the former French First Lady Carla Bruni, Italian-born singer and model.”
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.”
Giovanni
“Giovanni is the Italian masculine form of John, from the Latin Iohannes, from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious". It is one of the most common masculine names in Italian history and literature, borne by painters (Giovanni Bellini), poets (Giovanni Boccaccio), and legendary lovers (Don Giovanni). It is frequently contracted to Gianni or Gian.”
