Having problems with the Italian language? Do you need help to translate or understand an old family document? There is always someone who can help you!
Hello -
I'm curious if anyone can provide any thoughts on this. My grandfather's baptismal certificate seems to show is first name as Ulderico. As best as I can make out, that is the spelling...and I know that it is an Italian name. That said, he was always known as Henry. Does this make sense? Would it have been an 'Americanized' version of the name. He was born here to Italian Immigrants. Any thoughts are appreciated.
As you said Ulderico is definitely an Italian name. Henry, which is the translation for Enrico, sounds to me as the closest "Americanization" of Ulderico.

It's said Italy was a country of Saints, poets and navigators. There's no more trace of the poets and navigators but, fortunately, there are traces of the Saints. All the Italian towns are voted to a Saint and one of these is San Gennaro, well-known for his miracle. Who was San Gennaro? San Gennaro ...
