Unusual Given names
Unusual Given names
I came across these given names in my research. They may be badly spelled or mistranscribed. Can anyone help?
Mulestino (M)
Angiola (F) (I know the obvious is Angela)
Jiacinto (M) (Born Bordeaux France, but doesn't seem to be French or Italian)

Re: Unusual Given names
Thanks very much,
I'm going to go with Modestino and Giacinto.
Livio, are you saying that Angiola is actually a name?

Re: Unusual Given names
Modestino is both a name and a surname. Oddly enough one of my neighbors was born in Avellino,Italy and his first name was Modestino while various directories show Modestino as a surname as well. =Peter=

Yes, it is not very popular. Variations could be Angiolina and Angela...misbris wrote: Livio, are you saying that Angiola is actually a name?

Re: Unusual Given names
Hi,
My 4-great grandfather's name was Giacinto Lorello from Parco, Sicily (now known as Altofonte). I have various documents that was part of allegati that appears to be in Latin from 1826.
It states Giacinto's name as Hiacinto and Hyacinthy.
Thanks,
Joann
