PENTECOSTE

Pentecost, extremely rare, it would seem southern, with a stock in Campania and one in Sicily, it could be a surname attributed to an abandoned child, found just on the day of Pentecost, less likely it could be the name of the progenitor, whose name was attributed because born on that day, or a nickname originated from the fact of being the progenitor a Knight of Pentecost.
