1: Angellino the bookmaker - New Name
Submitter desires a masculine name.
Spelling is most important to the submitter.
Angellino - Yehoshua ben Haim haYerushalmi, "A sample of Jewish names in Milan 1540-1570" [http://heraldry.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/Jewish/milan_names.html] includes one Angelino de Levitis son of Guglielmo.
In support of the double-L, Juliana de Luna, "Masculine Names from Thirteenth Century Pisa: Given Names in Alphabetical Order" [http://heraldry.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/pisa/pisa-given-alpha.html] gives counts of names as follows:
Angelus 1; Angiolellus 2; Angiolerius 3; Angiolus 1; Angnellus 4
Aryanhwy merch Catmael, "Names of Aliens in London, 1571: Masculine Names, origin unknown" [http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/aliens-unknownmasc.html] gives Angello de Porro, origin "Grice".
the bookmaker - Aryanhwy merch Catmael, "Names from Arezzo, Italy, 1386-1528" [http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/italian/arezzo.html] includes numerous occupational descriptors used in Italian naming patterns, including: armaiolo (worker in weapons); calzolaio (shoemaker); chiavaiolo (keymaker); coltriciaio (quiltmaker, one who makes bedding); corazzaio (plate-armour maker); fabro (ironsmith); forbiciaio (scissormaker); lastraiolo (flag-stone worker); linaiolo (dealer in linen cloth); maestro (master (of a guild)); ritagliatore (retailer of wool cloth); tavolacciario (tablemaker); and, vinattiere (wine dealer). Given that the book arts thived in Italy, a bookmaker or bookbinder seems a reasonable occupational descriptor. The submitter prefers the Lingua Anglica form, and the double meaning (both book-binder and bet-maker) is intentional.
