MEANING & HISTORY
What does Homobono mean?
The Vatican’s Spanish account of Saint Homobono explicitly plays on his being good in both name and conduct. It records the cloth merchant Homobono Tucenghi of Cremona, who died in 1197.
This supports the historical good-man interpretation without turning the saint’s charitable life into a claim about every later bearer.
