Her first name , Amerigo , pronounced " a - me - RHEE - go " , is actually a masculine name of Medival Italian and Old German origin , derived from the name " Emmerich " , or " Amalric " , meaning " rule , power " . Her middle name , Valentina , pronounced " va-len-TEE-na " , is the feminine form of the Roman cognomen " Valentinus " , which means " strong , vigourous , healthy " . As for her surname , Damiani , pronounced " da - MYA - ni " , it's derived from the given name " Damiano " , the Italian form of Damian .
Typically , she prefers to go by " Ameer " , or by " Damian " , all because its less feminine-sounding than Amerigo is , and because Americans are simple beings and don't get the pronunciation right .
