Juliana is a feminine name which originated from Julius Caesar, the Roman statesman and military leader. It is a portmentau of the names Julia and Anna. Juliana or Giuliana was the name of a number of early saints, notably Saint Julian the Hospitaller, which ensured the name's continued popularity in the medieval period.

Bambino is the Italian for a child or baby, especially a representation in art of the infant Christ wrapped in swaddling clothes.

"Cinderella" is a folk tale embodying a myth-element of unjust oppression and triumphant reward. Thousands of variants are known throughout the world. The title character is a young woman living in unfortunate circumstances, that are suddenly changed to remarkable fortune. The story of Rhodopis, recounted by the Greek geographer Strabo around 7 BC, about a Greek slave girl who marries the king of Egypt, is usually considered to be the earliest known variant of the Cinderella story. The first literary European version of the story was published in Italy by Giambattista Basile in his Pentamerone in 1634; the version that is now most widely known in the English-speaking world was published in French by Charles Perrault in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697. Another version was later published by the Brothers Grimm in their folk tale collection Grimms' Fairy Tales in 1812.

The story of Cinderella has formed the basis of many notable works of opera, ballet, theatre, films and books. Over the decades, hundreds of films have been made that are either direct adaptations from Cinderella or have plots loosely based on the story.
