Atlantia ILoI - 2023-04-20


10: Serafina da Verona -New Name (NP)

No major changes.
Language/Culture (Italian) most important.

Serafina appears as a late period feminine name in Smith's "Late Period Italian Women's Names: Florence" at http://medievalscotland.org/jes/Nuns/Florence.shtml.

The structure of the byname is supported by the portion of Appendix A of the current standards devoted to Italian which notes "Locative bynames in the northern and central areas normally take the form da X, but de X and di X are rarely found. "

The name of the city of Verona is found in Coblaith Muinnech's "Place Names from a 16th-Century Italian Armorial" (http://www.coblaith.net/Names/ItPlace.html) which is based on several armorial manuscripts in the Bavarian State Library and a map of Italy by Iacopo Cataldo that was published in the 1572 edition of Ortelius' Theatrvm Orbis Terrarvm.
