Efisio

Whether baby Efisio’s name reminds them of the New Testament book or the ancient Greek city, it will be just as fitting. A masculine title, Efisio is the Italian form of the Latin moniker Ephesius, which was once carried by individuals who came “from Ephesus.” Situated in Ionia, Ephesus was an ancient Greek city first recorded in the 7th century BCE. Those who lived in Ephesus were known as “Ephesians,” so Efsio also shares this translation. The Epistle to the Ephesians is the tenth book of the Christian New Testament. The letter within it is believed to be written by Paul the Apostle and declares the Christian gospel of salvation as the source of true wisdom. Every time little Efisio opens their Bible or their favorite history book, they can search for Ephesus within the pages.
