About Ansanus
Of uncertain origin, Ansanus may derive from the Germanic word "ans," meaning "God", the Latin term for someone with large ears, or the name Antianus.
Alternatively, it could stem from the Latin name "Ansanus," itself possibly derived from the Germanic "ansuz," a pagan god, or the Latin "Antium," a town associated with the Greek "Antiātēs," meaning "an inhabitant of Antium".
Saint Ansanus, a patron saint of Siena, is revered in both the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches. His feast day is celebrated on December 1.
