NAPOLEON
Italian name, used most notably by the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), born on Corsica. It is possibly derived from the Germanic Nibelungen, the name of a race of dwarfs in Germanic legend, which meant "sons of mist". Alternatively, it could be connected to the name of the Italian city of Napoli.

The Lion of Naples. But the Valentinis were toward the other coast.
