Origin and meaning of Sante

Sante is an Italian name derived from Latin sanctus, 'holy, sacred,' arising as a devotional name, sometimes linked to the feast of All Saints or to the plural of the saints. It conveys a wish for holiness and protection. Traditionally common in central-northern Italy, particularly in the Veneto and Romagna, it is rare elsewhere. Uncommon today, it has an old, folksy tone. Outside Italy it is practically unknown, being closely tied to Italian religious and regional tradition.
