On a ship manifest there is a relative listed as Epifanio or Epifania. Im not sure if its a boy or girl. And then there is Antonia? Once they came to America what names would they use? Oh yeah, also sigismundo?
EPIPHANY is english translation from Italian language Epifanio(male versions) and Epifania (female version). Name from christian celebration of visit of the Magi on January 6
SIGMUND is one of several english versions of Sigismundo which is one of several variations of the old German name SIGMUND rarely used as a first name and more commonly used as a surname. The name means Protector
