Italian baby names
Updated: April 9th, 2024
Italy is a country of great places like Venice, Tuscany, Rome, Milan, and it also boasts of beautiful, gorgeous, and rhythmic baby names.
Italian baby names are either of Latin origin or are the Italian versions of names originating in other countries. Italian parents follow a firm set of rules for naming their child. The first-born son is named after the paternal grandfather and the second one is named after the maternal grandfather. In the same manner, the first-born girl child is named after the paternal grandmother and the second one is named after the maternal grandmother. Also, one portion of the Italian baby name may be determined by the name day and this is mentioned as his/her "Onomastico". Some traditional Italian families name their child after a patron saint.
Below is the compiled list of over 1000 beautiful Italian baby names.
