Subasio Scott Yuen

Subasio is pronounced Su - Ba - See - Oh. It sounds like a real Italian name, but it is not. It is a name that is unique to him. The name was met with mixed reactions by the Italians. Some thought we were joking. Word spread quickly around town. At the local supermarket, the Iper Sidis, a shop woman walked up and asked to see Subasio by name.

Subasio was born on October 25, 2006. He shares the same birthdate as his brother Matteo who was born exactly 2 years earlier.


It is the name of the mountain upon which Assisi sits. According to the local authorities, Subasio is the first person to have this name as normally children are named Francesco after the patron saint. We think Subasio is a wonderful name and one that will always have special meaning for him.
