Origin and meaning of Durante
Durante comes from the Latin durans, present participle of durare, and means 'constant, lasting, persevering'. It was a hopeful name expressing the wish for a long, steady life. Its most illustrious echo lies in the great poet: Dante Alighieri was actually named Durante, of which 'Dante' is the short form. Today rare and refined in Italy, abroad it matches the French Durand.
