Guido: Italian name derived from Medieval Latin "Wido" meaning "wide."

Giulo: Italian form of Roman Latin "Julius" meaning "descended from Jupiter (or Jove)."

No "Guildo" found in the list of Italian male names I searched. In fact, no meaning found for the name "Guildo" anywhere. However, I did find where Giuldo de' Medici gave Machiavelli a job at the University of Florence in 1420, writing a history of Florence, which I found curious since Machiavelli was born in 1469.
