It is Italian for twenty (your first respondent was probably thinking of "vieni", which does mean come here). Starbucks decided it would be a cute name for their twenty-ounce-sized drinks, but to me it's relyy silly--going into a coffee place and ordering a "twenty"! I hope nobody tries ordering a coffee that way in Italy--all they'd get was a blank stare.
(P.S.: "Latte" is just the Italian word for milk. My friend ordered a latte in Rome and was served a glass of milk--which is what she had ordered! She thought they were just being rude...:)
