Ortolano

occupational name for a cultivator or seller of fruit and vegetables ortolano "gardener" from a derivative of orto "vegetable garden" (from Latin hortus "garden"). The term was also used in the medieval period to denote both a cleric with a fervant devotion to pastoral work and a rough or uncouth person and in some instances may have been applied as a nickname in either sense. Or possibly in some instances a nickname from the vernacular name of a kind of bunting (a small bird called Emberiza hortulana) prized as a delicacy by Mediterranean gourmets. Spanish: occupational name from a variant of Old Spanish hortolano "cultivator or seller of vegetables".
