San Calogero (Greek: Aghios Kalogeros) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Vibo Valentia in the Italian region Calabria, located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) southwest of Catanzaro and about 13 kilometres (8 mi) southwest of Vibo Valentia.
This name derives from the Greek components: ΚΑΛΟΣ-ΓΕΡΟΣ
Meaning: good, nice-old man, elder.
In Greek the monks are called it.
Calogero is the name of the main character of the movie A Bronx Tale (played by Lilo Brancato).
Proper Italian pronunciation:Cahl-Oh-Jehr-Oh"C" before "A" always makes a hard "K." "A" pronounced as in "Father." Next is the "O", which is said along the lines of, "Oh, Be Quiet!" "G" as in "Gel," or otherwise a "J." "Ger" equals close to "Jair," I suppose. Roll your "R" for "Ro." [noted -ed]
This name is mainly used in southern Sicily, because of St. Calogero, an ethnic-Armenian hermit who lived in Sicily in the VI century a.d. He's the patron saint of many south-Sicilian cities.
I think that "beautiful elder" is kind of a strange meaning. However, I also think this name is very handsome. I'm surprised no one else has commented on this name.
