MEANING & HISTORY
What does Flaviano mean?
Flaviano continues Latin Flavianus, a derivative of Flavius. The Roman family name is associated with flavus, golden or yellow-haired.
The derivative ending forms another personal name rather than an additional colour. Early saints helped preserve the family. The old descriptive vocabulary does not establish a modern bearer’s hair colour or ancestry.
