Origin and meaning of Serafino

Serafino comes from the Hebrew seraphim, the name of the burning angels who, in Isaiah's vision, surround the divine throne singing its glory. It thus means 'ardent, aflame with love for God' and carries an aura of spirituality and purity. In Italy it is tied to Christian devotion and several saints; rarer today than in the past, it keeps an ancient charm. The form Seraphim still thrives in the Greek and Russian Orthodox world.
