Origin and diffusion

The name has a dual origin: on the one hand it represents a revival of the name of Giano, Roman deity guardian of the gates and passages, which comes from the Latin Janus, Ianus, meaning "arch portal", "passing at a time". On the name of this deity are based on January (in Latin Ianuarius; Giano was in fact the "god of the beginnings") and the name Gennaro; by meaning, it is similar to the name Pilade.

Since the thirteenth century, moreover, "Giano" is, especially in the Tuscan area, as a hypocoristic of names and nicknames such as Giuliano, Torrigiano, Montigiano, Bonciano, Luciano and Feliciano.

Onomaly
The name is addespota, not being brought by any saint. The theme is on 1 November, the day of All Saints. In cases where it is a hypocoristic of other names, you can celebrate their own day.
