Mario Draghi – Italian Economist

Mario Draghi, or “Super Mario,” is the president of the European Central Bank and he has been in control during a time when the faith in European Unity is waning, which lead to the Brexit vote in 2016. Throughout his time in power, he has worked to promote growth within the Eurozone by using quantitative easing aggressively and championing the use of negative interest rates in the continent.

However, his work is far from complete, as Greece has more credit problems than ever before and European populism has made economic cooperation very difficult. If anyone can take care of the situation in the Eurozone, it’s “Super Mario,” as Draghi earned the nickname after he was able to navigate Italian politics with ease and help create change. In 2016, Draghi was listed as the eleventh most powerful people out of 100 people in the world by Forbes magazine.

The masculine name Mario is a Spanish and Italian form of Marius, which is a Roman family name that was taken from either Mars the Roman god of war or from the Latin root mas or maris that means “male”. While the name Mars is probably related to the Latin mas that means “male”.

There are many famous people with the name, from the Canadian hockey player Mario Lemieux to the American racecar driver Mario Andretti. It is even the name of one famous fictional character too, Mario from Nintendo created by the video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto.
