Can anyone find any links that says the meaning, history or anything about the names: Nemesio and Silveria, I like these names a lot because they are unique and not in the top 10 (or in the top 1000 for that matter)  These are the names of my greatgrandparents?

Were your great-grandparents Italian by any chance?

Silveria might just be the feminine form of Silverius. I know that Italian families are very big on saints' names and there's a St. Silverius. He was Pope in the mid-6th century.

It's possible, I guess. ^^

Anyway, I like Silveria. It's different. And the life of Pope Silverius is a very interesting story.
