I have some documents which have the names in Latin. Can someone tell me what the Italian equivalent would be?
The names are... Calistamus
Immacentia

Re: Latin names translation
I don't know about Calistamus. Immacentia seems misspelled for Innocentia=Innocenza, feminine. If you post the document we may give you a better answer.

Yes, Innocentia may be correct. I have photocopies of the documents and unfortunately they are in written form. Calistamus seems fairly clear but I have noticed that some documents include the "us" at the end of male names.
