Festo

Festo is a Latin name that originated from the Greek word 'Hephaestus', the Greek god of fire, sculpture, and volcanoes. The Latin meaning of Festo is 'fortunate one', and its variation, 'Festus', means 'happy'. In Italian, Festo was derived from the word 'festa', meaning 'feasts', and inspired the creation of names like Efesto and Efestione. Festo was also a name in Germany but in the form of 'fest', meaning 'merriment'. Apart from its German and Italian origins, Festo also descended from French and Portuguese roots and was first used as a name from the time of the Greek gods as early as the eighth century BC. The Greeks were worshippers of powerful gods and believed that they would reap bountiful benefits if they praised them correctly. Many Greeks dedicated their children to the service of the gods, and to fulfill these services, they were named after their respective gods. A typical example of the name 'Festo' being used, but as 'Festus', is in Rick Riordan's 'Heroes Of Olympus' book series, where 'Festus The Dragon' is a strong, automaton dragon created by the old Hephaestus cabin. After the fall of Ancient Greece, many Greeks clung to the belief that so far they named their babies Festo and other names after their gods, they would protect them. This belief is not too far from the modern view that those named Festo are security-conscious, versatile, confident, sensitive, and very romantic.

Lucky

Festo lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
