Filonona's etymology is surely archaic. The world is made up of two different words the prefix FILI probably derived from the ancient Greek FILOS (lover, friend) or from the Latin FILIUS (child, son) and the Latin word NONA which indicated the central afternoon hour ( 3 p m). Another original theory about the word's origin refers to a Roman period, the legendary figure of FILINONI, who invited children to stay at home and be quite to let people having a rest during the afternoon hours. The Sicilian word Filinona today has a different connotation, related with this legend in fact the meaning is the nap we usually take in the hot Summer afternoons; what Spanish people call “SIESTA”.
