Hello! I am looking for information about a male name that sounds (in Italian) "Damiano". It's the name of a Greek (I suppose) Saint: in southern Italy Saints Cosma and Damiano are beloved. They were supposed to be doctors or medicians. Can anybody please provide any information about the origin and the meaning of the name? Regards Mario
