Priamo

Priamo is typically understood as the lower-case form of the Italian given name Priamo, which is the Italian version of Priam, the king of Troy in ancient myth. In standard Italian orthography, proper names are capitalized, so priamo would appear only as a lowercase representation in non-Italian contexts or in running text where capitalization is not applied.

Etymology and origins: the name Priamo derives from the Latin Priamus, itself borrowed from the Greek Priamos. In Italian-language literature and translations of classical works, Priamo appears as the name of the Trojan king, and priamo can be encountered as a typographical variant in non-capitalized text.

Usage and contemporary status: Priamo is a historical or literary name and remains quite rare as a modern given name in Italy. Its presence is primarily within classical or scholarly contexts rather than as a common contemporary choice. When seen in English-language or other non-Italian sources, priamo is usually understood as the same name rendered in lowercase or as a transliteration of the Italian form.
