Thinking about the name
Manlio
Latin origin
“An Italian name with disputed etymology, Manlio may derive from Latin 'manus' (hand) or be a variant of the Roman clan name Manlius. It carries a classical, Roman gravitas and has been borne by Italian nobility and historical figures. The name feels both authoritative and refined with its Italian vocal beauty.”
