Elio Jotta
Elio is an Italian male given name. Origin A name of dual origin, Elio is primarily a revival of it, Elio, label=none (Helios), the Greek god of the Sun. it, Elio, label=none derives, through the Latin ''Helius'', from the Ancient Greek Ἥλιος (''Hélios''), which is taken from the noun of the same and means "Sun". It shares the same meaning as the Italian feminine name it, Sole, label=none, the Romanian masculine name ro, Sorin, label=none and the Lithuanian feminine name lt, Saulė, label=none. Elio is also believed to originate from the Roman ''cognomen'' ''Aelius'' (feminine ''Aelia''), which was held by the emperor Hadrian and thus dates back to the 2nd century.
