Origin and meaning of Mariano
Mariano comes from the Latin Marianus, an adjective marking membership of the gens Maria, an ancient Roman family. In Christian times the name was reread as 'devoted to Mary', taking on a strong Marian sense. It is common in Italy, Spain and Portugal, and left its historical mark in Sardinia through the judges of Arborea. People love its tie to religious tradition and its full, solemn sound.
