While I don't know what it is, I'd bet money there's a family connection here. Way too coincidental. Also, Bill de Blasio's grandfather is Giovanni "John" de Blasio as well. Maybe important to acknowledge his family's long history of connections to the now-defunct OSS and CIA.. as it relates to how his family history is portrayed to the public.
The Mayor of New York was born Warren Wilhelm, he changed to de Blasio later.
Would rather be associated with the Mafia than the Bund.

Thanks for expanding my thinking on his name change.
