Graziano is an Italian masculine given name, derived from the Latin word 'Graecus', which means 'Greek'. It is often used to indicate someone of Greek origin or descent, and can be translated as 'the Greek one'. The name has been popular in Italy for centuries and has also gained some usage in other countries with significant Italian populations. In its most traditional form, Graziano is composed of two elements: 'Grazi' meaning 'grace', and '-ano', a suffix denoting belonging or relation to something. However, the name can also be interpreted as a shortened form of various compound names such as Graziantonio, which combines 'Grazi' with 'Antonio'. The name Graziano is typically associated with Saint Graziano, a 3rd-century Christian martyr whose feast day is celebrated on September 20th in the Catholic Church.
