It was very interesting to read about the history of your name, but it’s not a unique name, It does exist, and I had a neighbor called Doriana when I lived in Lucca. The name Doriana is variation of the name Dora, which comes from the Greek “Doron”, meaning “gift”, “present”. The onomastico for Dora is the 1st April. Auguri! Serena Salve Doriana!

Desiderio and Fortunato are not very common names, but they do exist, and they also have their “onomastico”: Desiderio is the 23rd May, Fortunato is the 14th October. A presto! Serena Salve Rick!

Being the 32nd cousin (out of 34), my father wanted me to have a unique name. My parents are from Italy but living in the US. On the day that they moved back to NY from Florida, the Andrea Doria sank. They were just arriving in NYC when the ship sank. My father wanted me to have a name that was different from my cousins. So, he came up with Doriana, after the Andrea Doria. I was born about 2 1/2 months after the Andrea Doria sank. Being the 32nd cousin (out of 34), my father wanted me to have a unique name.

My uncle was Fortunato. I am told that they are not common names. I’m not sure if it’s an unusual name or not but my father was born in Castelfranco, Veneto and his first name was Desiderio.
