Origin and meaning of Benvenuto
Benvenuto is a medieval Italian name with a transparent meaning: 'welcome, joyfully received,' used as a good-omen name to express the happiness with which a newborn was greeted. Distinctly Italian and now very rare, it stays linked to the memory of Benvenuto Cellini, the supreme goldsmith and sculptor of the Renaissance. It has counterparts in the Spanish Bienvenido and the French Bienvenu. It keeps a warm, auspicious character with an old, deeply Italian flavour.
