Meaning: Used by the 16th-century Italian poet Torquato Tasso for the lover of Sophronia in his epic poem 'Jerusalem Delivered' (1580). It may be a variant of OLINTO, the Italian form of an ancient Greek place name, ῎Ολυνθος (Olynthos), which may be derived from Greek ὄλυνθος (olynthos) "a winter-fig which seldom ripens; an untimely fig".
