BATTISTA. Italian
form of Baptist (q.v.),
meaning "baptizer," from Greek bapto (to dip).
Double names, perhaps, originated
in the desire to indicate the individual patron, where there were many
saints of similar name, and thus the votaries of the Baptist were
christened Gian Battista, or Jean Baptiste, but only called by the second
Greek title—most common in Italy—least so in England. (History of
Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
