Origin and meaning of Fortunato
Fortunato comes from the Latin Fortunatus, 'favoured by fate, blessed with luck', from the goddess Fortuna: it is a name of good omen, expressing the wish for a prosperous, happy life. Borne by several early Christian saints and martyrs, it has a devout, auspicious tone. In Italian it is today a rare, old-fashioned men's name, tied above all to southern tradition; related forms appear in the Spanish-speaking world.
