Usage Note
Umbro refers to anything from Umbria, the landlocked central Italian region (la regione umbra). As a noun, un umbro / un'umbra means a person from Umbria. Learners should be aware that the ancient Umbrians (gli Umbri) were a pre-Roman Italic people, so the word occasionally appears in historical contexts with a different referent from the modern regional meaning.
