HelpRe: Strange Italian names
in reply to a message by Felie
Where did you find these? Is the woman named Antevleva still living today, or is that an example from several generations ago?
As for #18: Why did they stop with their "Three Musketeers" theme after two? I found an Italian immigrant family in the US census that had four sons named Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan. :)
My Italian name dictionary says that Catena is a Marian devotion name, from churches in Sicily called "Maria Santissima della Catena", so it's parallel with Spanish names like Pilar and Dolores.
