", the name we find also among the trentine notaries of 1314, where the notary Nicholaus domini Horabuni de Casale is quoted, a second hypothesis proposes for Oraboni and Orabono a derivation from the Lombard name Auribano to his vault derived from the medieval Germanic terms aur (lightning bolt) and bano (the one who kills), in the sense of one who kills with lightning.
