Bergoglio

English

Etymology

Borrowed from Italian Bergoglio.

Proper noun

Bergoglio

  1. A surname from Italian [in turn from toponymy].
    • 2025 April 21, Peter Stanford, “Pope Francis obituary”, in The Guardian‎[1]:
      The break with tradition that Francis, who has died aged 88 after suffering from double pneumonia, represented even managed to trump the shock value of the resignation of Benedict, who was the first pope for 600 years to take that option rather than die in office. Immediately, Bergoglio signalled unambiguously that he intended to be a different kind of pope, one for the 21st century.
