Translating Latin names to Italian

[TomG]

This site has been so helpful in finding family links! We finally found my grandmother's family, and we visited them in May thanks to this wonderful site.

I've found church records on familysearch.org, but now I need to translate the first names into Italian. I can figure out the more common ones like Joannes is Giovanni and Josephus is Guiseppe, but is there a site where I can find translations of names like Aloysia?

Or should I just post the names I can't figure out on this site and hope someone can help me?

Thanks, but I'm looking for a way to translate the Latin names to Italian. Your link was helpful for the English versions of names.

Hi,
Aloysia is Luisa in italian . There is a famous woman saint with name Aloysia:

Saint Louise de Marillac (August 12, 1591 - March 15, 1660) was the co-founder, with St. Vincent de Paul, of the Daughters of Charity. She is venerated as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.

best regards
