You could do this with all the books by an out of copyright author, all Shakespeare sonnets, all Jane Austen, all Charlotte Bronte, all books in your WW2 series or detective series, or family saga.

The Name Anthony Sicari

Not to be confused with the two other clothing companies which Google throws up at the searcher, St Anthony, and plain Anthony.  You find Anthony Sicari items on ebay.

I did some searches for Sicari. First I was diverted to the Hebrew. 

wiki told me>

Sicaricon (Hebrew: סיקריקון), literally "usurping occupant; possessor of confiscated property; the law concerning the purchase of confiscated property" (now obsolete), refers in Jewish law to a former act and counter-measure meant to deal effectively with religious persecution against Jews in which the Roman government had permitted its own citizens to seize the property of Jewish landowners who were either absent or killed in war, or taken captive,^[1] or else where Roman citizens had received property (real estate) that had been confiscated by the state in the laws prescribed under ager publicus,^[1][2] and to which the original Jewish owners of such property had not incurred any legal debt or fine, but had simply been the victims of war and the illegal, governmental expropriation of such lands from their rightful owners or heirs. The original Jewish law, made at some time after the First Jewish-Roman War with Vespasian and his son Titus,^[3][4] saw additional amendments by later rabbinic courts, all of which were meant to safe-guard against depriving the original landowners and their heirs of any land that belonged to them, and to ensure their ability to redeem such property in the future.

Etymology[edit]

The origin of the word sicaricon (or saqrīqūn) is now obscure. The word is believed by some to be a corruption of the Greek word χαισαρίχιον, or what is called in Latin caesaricium.^[5] Others, namely, Heinrich Graetz and M.S. Zuckermandel, thought the word was derived from Sicarii, a group associated with murders, brigandage and robbery during the Second Temple period.^[6] Hai Gaon also thought that the word Sicarii refers to government personnel involved with implementing the laws of Sicaricon.^[7] However, the Sicarii are largely mentioned in regard to assassinations, and there is no historical evidence to connect them with the expropriation of land.^[8] The author of Sefer Arukh brings down a different interpretation, saying that the word is merely an acronym for: שא קרקעי והניחני (= "Take my land, but leave me alone"), a view supported by Talmudic exegetes, Rashi and Solomon Sirilio.^[9] Isaac ben Melchizedek, echoing the same view, held that sicaricon were hired "hitmen," sent to embezzle the original landowner of his property at the threat of death.^[10] In any case, the word invariably refers to a Roman or foreign molester who expropriates land from its Jewish owner, usually by a decree made by a tyrant king (Caesar).^[11]

Too much information!

Sicari Name Meaning

Italian (southern: Sicari) of Greek origin unexplained. Italian nickname from sicario meaning armed bodyguard (in Toscana).

Other succinct translations say hired killer. That is a pity. I wish I had not read that. The name  sicari sounds so romantic, exotic. I shall have to imagine a jovial Italian in an Italian restaurant, shrugging when I ask the origin of his name, or an Italian tailor with pins in his mouth, removing them to say, 'Who knows!' or, "My grandfather, he like-a the name'.
