MEANING & HISTORY
What does Aniano mean?
Aniano is explicitly paired with Latin Annianus in the consulted UNAM scholarly index. This establishes a specific classical-to-Spanish name correspondence.
The deeper Roman family-name derivation is not settled by that equivalence, and the popular dedication-to-Anna-Perenna explanation is not adopted here without stronger evidence.
