“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.”
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.”
Rosa
“Rosa is a feminine given name of Latin origin meaning "rose", the flower. It is used across Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan, where it has been a beloved name since the medieval period. Saint Rose of Lima (Rosa de Lima), the first person born in the Americas to be canonized, made the name especially popular across the Spanish-speaking world.”
Roberta
“Roberta is the Italian and Spanish feminine form of Robert, from the Old High German Hrodebert composed of hrod meaning "fame" and beraht meaning "bright" — thus "bright fame". The name entered the Romance languages via the Normans and Germanic medieval aristocracy, and in Italy became firmly established as a classic feminine name, especially in the 20th century.”
