Thank you all for the help. I am yet to find anybody by those names though. Thanks again.

It's Santo, a very common Italian male name, meaning "saint".  It's the only possibility because the Italians use the same first names over and over and don't have any unique ones.

I've never seen the name "Janto" among the Italians--especially since the Italians don't use the letter "j" in their writing.
