ORTENSE | ORTENSI | ORTENSIA | ORTENSIO | ORTENZI | ORTENZIA | ORTENZIO

Ortense, almost unique, would seem to be from Pescara, Ortensi has a small stock in the Bolognese area, scattered presences in the Marche and Lazio, with a strain in Rome, Ortensia and Ortensio are almost unique, Ortenzi has a large stock in the central strip, which includes the Macerata, Ascoli, Teramo, Umbria, Rieti, Aquila, Viterbo and Rome, Ortenzia would seem almost unique, Ortenzio has some presence in Abruzzo, but the main stock is in Bitonto in Bari and Lucera in the Foggia area, they should all derive from the Latin nomen Hortensius, the noble name of the Gens Hortensia, we recall Quintus Hortensius Hortalus of the first century BC a rival of Cicero in his contrast with Verre.
