[Facts] Sveva
I would like to know more about the meaning and origin, if anyone is familiar with this name. Here is what I have uncovered so far:Name is female and appears to be Italian.Past Svevas: There is a Countess Sveva della Gherardesca, born 1930 in Firenze (is that in Italy?) whose father was Walfredo, Count della Gherardesca. This info was found in the Romanov family records (b/c she married a prince Romanov). I have found another webpage that references a Signora Sveva Lucciola, "an Italian woman of the 15th c."An Italian website gives this information: the origin is Latin, it is a derivative of Svebus, it means inhabitant of Svevia, and the name-day is November 1.Does anyone know anything more, or anything about Svebus or Svevia?
TIA
