Tuscany

Meaning

Tuscany comes from the name of the Italian region, which was called by the Romans Tusci after the Etruscans. In older name books, the region is linked to the ancient people whose name survives in Tuscany itself. As a given name, it is a modern place-inspired choice rather than a traditional saint or biblical name.

Origin

Fun fact

The name of Tuscany preserves the memory of the Etruscans, an ancient people whose language and full history were already mysterious to later writers.
