Origin and meaning of Speranza
Speranza takes up the Latin name Sperantia, from the word for 'hope', one of the three theological virtues alongside faith and charity. It is a wishful name laden with Christian meaning and trust in the future. Widespread in Italy above all in the past and across the southern regions, today it is rather rare but intense and poetic in value. In the Spanish-speaking world it lives on as the much-loved Esperanza, while English offers the equivalent Hope.
