No, basically they've not exactly the same meaning but they're very similar in the current use.
"Tengo" in Spanish is mainly used as I have, but it also means I hold, I keep, I possess, I own.
"Tengo" in Italian is mostly used as I hold, I keep, but it also means I have.
"Stare" (not 'stere') mainly means in Italian to stay, to remain, to live, but it's also used for to be , to go, to depend , to be up, to be for.
"Essere" is basically 'to be' but it means also to exist, to consist, to get. It's also used as 'to have' in the composite verbs ex. "è appena arrivato" - "he has just arrived".
"Essere" is in French "être".
"Tenere", as above said, means to hold, to keep but it means also to have.
"Avere" means to have but also to get, to feel.
"Avere" is in French "avoir"
