D'Ignoti (of unknown), Diotisalvi (God save you), Diotaiuti (God help you), Diotallevi (God bring you up), Servodidio (servant of God), Di Dio (of God), Esposti (exposed), Trovati (find), Innocenti (innocent), these are some of the traditional names given to abandoned children whose origin was unknown.
Esposito is a common Italian surname, originally given to children left to the care of institutions, usually babies born out of wedlock. Convents had a "ruota" - a revolving door where they could be left anonymously. The same with the Spanish surname Expósito.
Another italian last name denoting unknown parentage is Sposito, sometimes spelled Esposito, meaning exposed, given to babies left outside orphanages or churches by single mothers.
I have seen on baptisimal records here in Ireland "illegitimate",and in one parish " bastard" written rather large as if the clerk enjoyed doing it.I have an antecedent with " illegitimate" then scribbled in " parents later married" I'm guessing the girls dad had a shotgun
@ilargitxo2 Why are you so defensive? There's nothing wrong with the question. If people in Spain abandon babies for other reasons besides poverty, just say no plain and simple. I suppose they assumed poverty because that is the most common reason why parents abandon children. And how did the question warrant the sudden racism? You suddenly assumed someone's nationality just because of the question? Or you just enjoy the freedom of being condescending on the internet?
doing ancestry/genealogy is really cool. I always heard stories about how my grandfather worked in a coal mine since he was a little boy. it was kind of in one ear and out the other. then I did genealogy work for the first time and found a census record from when my grandfather was 14. It stated that he currently was not living at home because he was working in another state (in their coal mines). That was one of the moving experiences I've ever had. Even though I had heard the stories, to see it, and to realize that it meant he was not even living at home when he wasn't in school was amazing. Everything just became a reality.
in Romania we have something similar, family names that starts with "A" followed by some female name, for instance: Amariei, Amandei, Acasandrei, etc. (of Mary, of Mandy, of Cassandra). These are names usually given to a babies with unknown father, so only the mother name is known.

Marisa Tomei is one of those women who actually got better looking with age. It's like everything just came together. She was much hotter in Wild Hawgs than she was in her younger days. Graceful lady as well.
Fair enough. She has aged now, but I found her much more attractive in Wild Hawgs than in My Cousin Vinnie. Sort of everything smoothed into place. But we each like what we like and it's all good.
She delivered my favorite line in a movie. It was about a boyfriend that broke up with her character and she said something like, "It's not like I wish he was dead or anything. People die everyday. Why should he be any different?"
Setting her physical features aside, you can tell she is kind and warm with a heart of gold. The type of woman you'd beg for her forgiveness if you fuck up the relationship.
I agree. I mean I know it’s not the subject of the video but I love how she was beautiful years ago and still is and I cannot detect any work she’s had done on her face. Thankfully. She’s allowed herself to age with grace and I find her far more beautiful than other actresses that look plastic
Marisa Tomei is a favourite. Her performance as Mona Lisa Vito in _My Cousin Vinnie_ is high quality acting. She really deserved that Oscar in 1993. Her part and performance as the teacher in _Crazy, Stupid Love_ is also very good.
I think Marisa has aged better than just about any woman I’ve ever seen! My Cousin Vinny was 29 years ago ! - and she still looks amazing! She must have found the fountain of youth!
There’s a crazy story in France, in a region called Loire, during the XIXth century, one guy in charge of giving a name to abandonned babies had a blast, over the years he gave city names, then animal names, after a while he went on to make play on words, naming a baby Sergeant and the next one Major, another was named Capi and was followed by Taine, then came the funnies: making sentences out of the names, three kids in a row got called Insy, Soye and Thil, French phonetical for « so be it »; his chef d’œuvre being 14 names in a row that put together form the French version of the sentence: « if the road was better we would have spotted them a while ago »: SYLLA Jules, ROUTE Augustin, ETAY Angélique, MEY Louise, LIT Jean-Pierre, EURE François, NOUE Félicité, LESO Eugénie, RIONG Marie, ZAPER Adolphe, SUD Emile, DEPUIS Gabriel, LONG Marie-Jeanne, TEMPS Marie.«
Everyone has always said I looked exactly like Marissa Tomei growing up & now I’m the same age as her & so happy to share my heritage with such a beautiful talented & genuinely kind person & a side note … Aging gracefully is the key ladies 💕
Back in the old days when a girl got in trouble, the parents would send her away for 9 months and then her aunt and uncle would "find" a baby on their front steps. Happened all the time.
That's funny... Where I come from, we would often have someone's niece come to stay for nine months if she was unfortunate enough to become pregnant right after her husband was drafted or passed away
Imagine going through all of that to find out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's natural for human beings to be curious about our origins and family, but to find out you come from an abandoned baby is a mind fk.
But ,you are still special,in God's eyes...maybe the person who gave birth was going thru really bad times and had no where 2 turn.....knowing baby would be found..most of us arent planned,think about it....🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
I can imagine it would be but that was the reality. Back in those days so many babies were foundlings babies left at a door or church because of dire straits the birth mother was facing.
There are plenty of surnames in Italy that have the same meaning, for example "Bianco", that means white, was used to indicate that the surname of the orphan was unknown and hence left blank on the birth record, so it was recorded as "Bianco". other names, like "Diotallevi" have a religious connotation, in this case Diotallevi litterally translates in "May God raise you".
The name Esposito (4th most common Italian surname) means something similar..It means "Exposed"..To be abandoned, and left outside...So way back when, if a baby was abandoned to an orphanage, let's say, they would be given the surname "Esposito" whereby making it almost impossible to track ancestral origins.
This video was posted in February but I'd like to know when it was filmed...she is so extremely gorgeous...as someone else mentioned, no plastic, took care of herself and aged very well!
that is why where you are going is more important than were you came from. I know many people who dolt on their heritage yet do nothing with their lives. I was adopted at a young age, and never look back but keep going forward.
When I was researching my ancestors in Italy I would sometimes come across the name Esposito (boy) or Esposita (girl). I asked "why are there no parents listed for these people?" They look at me like I was an idiot and said "There are no parents: Esposito." I never thought about the meaning of the name Esposito (exposed). Duh!
Holy Moly! This lady is aging so gracefully and beautifully. How could you possibly imagine she is in her mid 50s. She looks late 30s early 40s at the worst. Amazing.
In Spain, the equivalent to that is the surname "Blanco", which means literally "white", but it could be translated as "blank". It was given to kids without known parents.
Don't feel bad; he didn't actually date her. Remember? They met for a walk in the park. He told her he was "kind of engaged," she hit him with her purse and stormed off.

I want to get on this show and find out more about my family. Like, I know my great grandpa on my mom's side was from Germany, and my grandma told me her uncle often played Irish reels on a fiddle (she didn't know they ere called that, she just got this look on her face when I was playing a CD one day, and went into storytime). I have a Welsh surname, and rumors of tons of other admixtures in my DNA, buuuut... I'm estranged from one side of my family, so trying to do much more research is next to impossible...
My paternal grandparents were originally from Mexico before moving to the US. However, my parents were able to trace my paternal lineage back to my 11th great grandfather, who lived in the Italy region around 1830 before he moved to Mexico and started a family there. Italy wasn't even called Italy at this point. My maternal grandmother is 100% Czech and maternal grandfather is 100% Mexican. This makes me an ItaliCzexican. So before judging others on the basis of their skin color or name, please realize we're simply all human mutts and deserving of equal love and respect. Make Jon Snow proud. :)
There was an Italian definition of babies that were abandoned by their mothers. It's "madre ignota" ("mother unknown") or, it would be also shortened to "m ignota". It would eventually be transformed to "mignotta", all in one word. Mignotta in modern Italian is a vulgar expletive designating a prostitute. It is mainly used in another expletive, "figlio di mignotta" ("son of a bitch").
That's true. Il Milite Ignoto. And pretty much in every town and village there's a statue portraying an unknown soldier and a plate with the names of the men that fought and perished in WW2.
James Hudson... "Milite Ignoto" translates as "Unknown Soldier"... Your comment should be IGNORED!!! Also, every nation has an "Unknown Soldier" tomb... even us in the USA... The fact you didn't know it is unbelievable...

I have a Welsh surname, and rumors of tons of other admixtures in my DNA, buuuut... I'm estranged from one side of my family, so trying to do much more research is next to impossible...
Marisa before: 'I wish I would have some royal relatives...'
Marisa After: 'So.. I am adopted and left alone'
My paternal grandparents were originally from Mexico before moving to the US. However, my parents were able to trace my paternal lineage back to my 11th great grandfather, who lived in the Italy region around 1830 before he moved to Mexico and started a family there. Italy wasn't even called Italy at this point.
My maternal grandmother is 100% Czech and maternal grandfather is 100% Mexican. This makes me an ItaliCzexican.
So before judging others on the basis of their skin color or name, please realize we're simply all human mutts and deserving of equal love and respect. Make Jon Snow proud. :)
Felt a little uncomfortable by the absolute glee of the presenter as he told her about the lineage....
Absolute savage 😂
Always lovely.
00:28 ''Ignato'' means nothing in Italian, the ''Ignoto'' means of unknown.
This girl Never ages!
She is gorgeous 😍
My God, she is stunning. Like a ray of sunshine and a breath of fresh air!
I do hope this makes you proud. Your lineage is a bootstrap success. Also, you are my favorite actress.
I love her!
Her great grandfathers parents were off worlders. Kree, Xandarians or even Asgardians.
It's where Spiderman gets some of his abilities from.
😂😂
Nice 😉
She was also on who do you think you are … so cool that she did both
GN in Italian is pronounced like N with ~ in Spanish.
Ñ?
@@pr59052 Yes.
My great grandfather was born in Firenze Italy as an orphanage. It seems there’s so many Italians who were abandoned as babies.
There was an Italian definition of babies that were abandoned by their mothers. It's "madre ignota" ("mother unknown") or, it would be also shortened to "m ignota". It would eventually be transformed to "mignotta", all in one word. Mignotta in modern Italian is a vulgar expletive designating a prostitute. It is mainly used in another expletive, "figlio di mignotta" ("son of a bitch").
Alot of men in Italy being typical men I see.
italy has the tomb of the ignored soldier. which i think is very thoughtful.
That's true. Il Milite Ignoto. And pretty much in every town and village there's a statue portraying an unknown soldier and a plate with the names of the men that fought and perished in WW2.
James Hudson... "Milite Ignoto" translates as "Unknown Soldier"... Your comment should be IGNORED!!! Also, every nation has an "Unknown Soldier" tomb... even us in the USA... The fact you didn't know it is unbelievable...
@@jamesthefirst8790 your advice is so awful even YOU can't follow it!
@@jamesthefirst8790 here, i don't think you know the first thing about translating. read about Æthelred the Unready. i can only point you in the right direction. i can't make you open your eyes.
all countries that participated in ww1 have a tomb for the unkown soldier
This woman is so beautiful, she never ages and if she does, she only gets better.
imagine doing this in the middle ages, telling a peasant that his father was peasant and that his grandfather was a peasant, and his father was a peasant and all his sons are gonna be peasant
*mechanics*.
I was a teen when I watched her and crushed on her in "The Guru" in 2002. Can't believe she is in her 50s now! Time flies.
"It's a trick question."
and then..."It's a bullshit question." I watched it last night. Wonderful movie.
"WHY....is it a trick question"
@@hyzercreek in the movie My Cousin Vinnie that was her line when she didn't like what was being said/asked. Movie reference worth watching!
@@chrismaggio7879 Yeah, I was quoting the line the judge Herman Munster said in the movie. After he said SIT DOWN UNTIL YOU'RE TOLD TO LEAVE
@@hyzercreek haha oh yeah! Fred Gwynn... His line about "Utes?" is classic too.
That makes sense to have these type of identifiers for abandoned children.
I'm Korean. I'm like a pedigreed poodle. I know my direct patrilineal ancestor to like a 1000 years.
Same for most here in india
Good for you, that fact and 1000 Won will get you a cup of tea
