The name Casanova is generally used to describe a (romantic) lover. It's based on this historical figure:

CasÂ·aÂ·noÂ·va de SeinÂ·galt (kÄƒs'É™-nÅ'vÉ™ dÉ™ sÄƒN-gÃ¤lt', kÄƒz'-, kÃ¤'sÃ¤-nÅ'vÃ¤) pronunciation, Giovanni Jacopo 1725â€“1798.

Italian adventurer who after his expulsion from a seminary wandered Europe, meeting luminaries, working in a variety of occupations, and establishing a legendary reputation as a lover. His memoirs chronicle his adventures.

Casanove is directred from this man Gian Giacomo Girolamo Casanova (April 2, 1725 in Venice â€“ June 4, 1798, in Dux, Bohemia, now Duchcov, Czech Republic) was a famous Venetian adventurer, writer, and womanizer. He used charm, guile, threats, intimidation, and aggression, when necessary, to conquer women, sometimes leaving behind children or debt. In his autobiography Histoire de ma vie (Story of My Life), regarded as one of the most authentic sources of the customs and norms of European social life during the 18th century, he mentions 122 women with whom he had sex.

Although he is often associated with Don Juan because both seduced many women, Casanova is in fact very different from his fictitious counterpart. While Don Juan is a legend, Casanova is an historical character.

It's a name with a Spanish meaning.

The meaning is..."New House".

Many people have this as their last name.

The generally accepted meaning is that it's a man who believes he has what all women are looking for...mostly good looks and romantic. In other words, a lady's man.
