Italian Baby Names: Popularity and trends
Italian Baby Names: Popularity and trends
May 19, 2024 10:39 PM

  Italian baby names often have layered meanings and a lot of romance, which makes them a great choice no matter what your nationality. At the same time – and for much the same reasons – searching for good Italian names can be tricky.

  Names that sound perfectly fine to American ears may not be real options in Italy, if, for example, they might sound old-fashioned or carry strong regional connotations. Take Teodora: here’s a great-sounding, but also ancient-sounding name that virtually no one in Italy has chosen for decades. Or Calogero – a once-popular name that has been out of fashion for quite a while.

  While finding a popular name can be tricky, the biggest challenge is in the spelling. Unlike in the States, alternative spellings are usually regarded as simply mistakes rather than unique or creative choices – so you have to be careful if you want the real thing! On many websites, you will find Giovanny, Adrianna, or Luka listed as Italian baby names, though in Italy they would be perceived as bizarre deviations from the correct spelling – Giovanni, Adriana, and Luca.

  A good place to start searching for Italian baby names would be the annual report of the Italian National Institute for Statistics (Istat), which unfortunately is only published in Italian. But don’t despair – here’s a summary to find out what’s hot on the shores of the Mediterranean!

  Italian girl names have an interesting popularity count, with some crossovers with the Us list of top girl names.
