Origin: Italian

Meaning: Beloved, dear; Grace

Graziano is a beautiful name for boys and the Italian version of the Roman name Gratianus. Meaning “beloved,” “dear,” or “grace” in Latin, and partly inspired by Gratian, borne by one of the rulers of the Roman Empire, a name like Graziano definitely lives up to its etymology. But if you’re any bit of a medieval poetry enthusiast, you’ll also know Graziano as one of the supporting characters of Shakespeare’s 1603 tragedy, Othello.
