Italian names in alphabetical order. Italian names

17.06.2019

The choice of the name of the baby begins when the baby is not yet born. Already in childhood, girls come up with names for their future daughters and sons, but prettier ones. Over time, it becomes possible to make these dreams come true. Many are called according to the calendar, in honor of relatives, some consult horoscopes and verify when Mercury will be in the constellation Virgo, while others simply follow fashion.

The child must be given a name immediately after birth: a TIN (codice fiscale) is created for him, which includes the first name, surname and date of birth. Here, of course, it is necessary to determine the surname. If the couple is not married, they must both officially recognize the child (first the mother, then the father). If the father recognizes the newborn, the child receives the father's surname, if not, the mother's surname. After discharge from the maternity hospital with a birth certificate, you need to contact the municipality of the settlement, where they will draw up a birth certificate. This act is not issued to parents - it is kept with seven seals in the mayor's office, but they give out an extract, an A4 sheet with the coat of arms of the municipality and a seal. Any number of such statements can be issued.

Legislation

There is a special law of the Civil Code, which regulates the specifics of awarding a name to a newborn. In Italy, for example, there cannot be Alexander Alexandrovich, since there are no patronymics, and, therefore, it will be bureaucratically difficult to distinguish between two Alessandros with the same surname. You can not call a child the name of a brother and sister (if they are alive and well). Last name cannot be used as first name. And finally, you can not call a child a funny or offensive name.

If parents want the child to have a “noble” multi-layered name, you can do this: Angela Stella Giovanna or Gianmaria Francesco Massimo. But! Maximum - three names, otherwise in the future a person will be tormented to put his full signature.

Well, if the parental fantasy wants to name the child some kind of Asbjorn, there are no obstacles here. It is important that the name be written in Italian letters, and you can use diacritical marks characteristic of foreign names (tildes, tone accents, etc.).

Original!

Some, however, in their desire to seem original, manage to outdo all the laws. For example, the famous football player Francesco Totti and his wife, TV presenter Ilari Blasi, named their daughter a surname, which is forbidden, Chanel. The manager of Formula Uno, as well as the playboy Flavio Briatore and his wife, fashion model Elisabetta Gregoracci, named their son Nathan Falco. Nathan - understandably, a Hebrew name meaning "given by God." But "falco", friends, is translated from Italian as "falcon". Falcon you are my clear!

There is such a rock singer Zucchero, or Adelmo Fornaciari (Zucchero, Adelmo Fornaciari). He uncomplicatedly named his third child Adelmo (as himself, beloved, which is forbidden), adding Blue (Adelmo Blue). Poor boy!

There is also a wonderful couple John Elkann (grandson of Gianni Agnelli and head of the FIAT group) and Lavinia Borromeo (just a blue-blooded girl). They named their children Leone (“leone” - “lion” - the name exists, but its other variants are more common: Leo, Leonardo), Oceano (“oceano” - “ocean”, or in honor of a little-known Lydian saint of the 4th century: on the day in his memory, they got married on September 4) and Vita (“vita” - “life”).

Ordinary Italians also want sonorous names for children

Ah, how magical Italian names sound! Maurizio, Marcello, Giovanni, Gianbattista, Beatrice, Lucia, Francesca... Just music to the ears! But why make it easy. Recently, foreign names have been in vogue.

The girls are called Noemi (Noemi - from the Hebrew "joy"), although there is also an Italian "joy" - Joya (Gioia). Another tribute to the Hebrew tradition: the girls Rachele (Rachele) and Sarah and the boys Aaron and No uh(Noè - Noah).

Tribute to the Anglo-Saxon tradition - Sharon (Sharon), Kevin (Kevin), Patrick (Patrick), Bryan (Bryan), Richard (Richard), Mike O l (it is written exactly like this: in Italian, as it is heard, it is written: Maikol; well, people did not know how to spell Michael).

Italians do not like the French, but they use names for girls: Sophie (Sophie), Nicole (Nicole: they do not pronounce “l”, but “l”), Michelle (Michelle).

Today it is fashionable to "truncate" names. Usually male names end either in "o" (Carlo, Pietro, Saverio, Giacomo) or "e" (Raffa uh le, D A look, Garbri uh le, dani uh le). Now there are many boys named Kr And Stian, D A Niel, Samuel, although all of them in Italian should have ended with "e".

Once on the beach I observed Syria and Asia at the same time. There are many girls named Sofia.

The boys are also called Matthias, Lucas, Nicholas, Markus.

curiosities

Personally, I met completely absurd names associated with the love of the older generation for Russia or the USSR: Katya (Katia), Katyusha (Katuscia), the female name Vanya (Vania), Maslova (!), Yves A n, Igor (Igor), Yuri (Juri - children born in the 60s), Vladim And ro (abbreviated as M And ro).

North and South

There are purely southern names that cannot be found in any native Milanese or Turinian: Gaetano, Salvatore, Antonino or Antonio, Carmine, Gennaro, Ciro and others.

Diminutives

There are no abbreviations as such. It is very amusing to see a tiny baby doll, barely hobbled on crooked legs, whose grandmother calls sonorously: “Federico! Let's go change a diaper!" If desired, of course, some reductions are possible: the same Federico is called Fede, Antonella - Anto, Antonio - Nino, Salvatore - Toto, Giuseppe - Peppe or Pippo (also shortened from Filippo). Plus, there are wonderful masculine endearing suffixes: “ino” - Paolino, Leonardino, Danielino and feminine: “ina”, “uccia”, “etta” - Angelina (Angelina), Mariuccia (Mariuccia), Nicoletta (Nicoletta). But most often these derivatives are self-sufficient.

Coming up with a name for a newborn girl seems simple until you come across it yourself. The easiest way is to name after the saint who owns the day when the baby was born, but in Italy they went further and can christen their children as Friday, Sunday, Tuesday. Naturally, when translated into Russian, the girl's Italian name may look funny, but in the language itself, Friday will sound like Venerdi, and Sunday - Domenica. Who has not dreamed of such beautiful Italian names? So, jokes aside, because it will be even more fun.

Funny Italian female names

An even more interesting way for Italians to name girls is by numeral. This custom came from the time when families had many children and named newborns in order of birth: Seventh, First, Eighth, Fifth. In Italian, these names also sound beautiful: Settima, Prima, Ottavina, Quinta. Just do not confuse the numerals and serial numbers in Italian: the number three in translation into Russian is “tre”, and the numeral “third” is Terzo. Agree, what is not a name for a child?

Now it’s clear where such beautiful Italian female names came from. One thing is strange, why do they like ordinary numbers so much? It is difficult for a Russian person to understand this, because such a custom has not taken root in our country, and they don’t run around the streets: First, Third and even Seventh. How much you need to love your language in order to see poetry in the word “eighth” and admire it so much that you name your daughter in honor of this word, and she, in turn, is proud of such a name and does not cry over her passport at night.

We would like to remind you that boys in Italy are given the same names, but with a different ending, so that you do not think that only female Italian names have overtaken the ordinal name.

Italian female names and family traditions

Previously, strict rules were followed for the name of the child, and this mainly concerned the ancestors: the children of the first-born were named after their grandparents, and the rest - after their great-grandmothers and the names of their uncle and aunt. In this custom, one can see a reverent attitude and reverence for family ties in Italy.

If we consider this family custom in more detail, then the daughter who was born first will bear the name of the mother of the father. The second, respectively, mother's mother. The third daughter was named after her mother, and the fourth - after her father's grandmother. The fifth newborn will be named after an aunt or great aunt.

Moreover, in Russia they try not to name a newborn in honor of a recently deceased relative, but in Italy they treat this differently and the baby can be referred to as a recently deceased member of the family.

Influence of other countries and religion on name formation in Italy

At the moment, the fashion for foreign names for girls and boys is growing, and do not forget about the tradition of naming the saint on whose day the child was born. The Roman Catholic Church brought Roman origins to the list of Italian children's names.

The most popular female names in Italy: Domenica ( Domenica), Giulia (Giulia), Alessia (Alessia), Chiara (Chiara, in our Sveta), Francesca (Francesca), Sarah (Sara), Federica (Federica), Silvia (Silvia), Martina (Martina), Eliza (Elisa) . Affectionate diminutive derivatives of such names approximately sound like this: Ellie, Lesya, Fede, Frani, Julli.

The meaning of Italian female names

The translation of names carries the unimaginable poetry and beauty of the Italian language. Let's say Dominica got her name from the day of the week "Sunday", which means "belonging to God." Felice means Happy and Perla means Pearl. Immacolata in translation into Russian means Flawless, Angela - Angel, Selvaggia - Wild. Reading this list of Italian female names, you involuntarily begin to envy their diversity, this is not 20 newborns per day in one maternity hospital named Nastya. These Italians are entertainers, I must admit!

Italy continues to amaze with its originality and inspire new discoveries. Reading about its culture, traditions, nature and sights, one wants to come there again and again. And what about those who have not yet been to Italy? You should definitely set a goal to go there!

A correctly chosen name has a strong positive influence on the character, aura and fate of a person. It actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and state, improves health, removes various negative programs of the unconscious. But how do you pick the perfect name?

Despite the fact that there are interpretations in culture of what male names mean, in reality, the influence of the name on each boy is individual.

Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, making it difficult for the baby to form. Astrology and numerology of choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate through the ages.

Calendars of Christmas time, holy people, without consulting a seeing, perspicacious specialist, do not provide any real help in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.

And the lists of ... popular, happy, beautiful, melodious male names completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, soul of the child and turn the selection procedure into an irresponsible game of parents in fashion, selfishness and ignorance.

Beautiful and modern Italian names should first of all suit the child, and not the relative external criteria of beauty and fashion. Who don't care about your child's life.

Various characteristics according to statistics - positive features of the name, negative features of the name, choice of profession by name, the impact of the name on business, the impact of the name on health, the psychology of the name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of subtle plans (karma), energy structure, tasks for life and kind of a particular child.

The theme of the compatibility of names (and not the characters of people) is an absurdity that turns inside out on the interactions of different people the internal mechanisms of the influence of a name on the state of its carrier. And it cancels the entire psyche, the unconscious, energy and behavior of people. It reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.

The meaning of the name has no literal effect. For example, Vazha (courageous, knight) does not mean that the young man will be strong, and the bearers of other names will be weak. The name can weaken his health, block his heart center and he will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, it will help another boy to solve problems for love or power, it will greatly facilitate life and achieve goals. The third boy may not bring any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics.

The most popular Italian names for boys are also a delusion. 95% of boys are called names that do not make life easier. You can only focus on the innate character of the child, spiritual vision and the wisdom of an experienced specialist.

The secret of a male name, as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration, is revealed by a special bouquet, primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of the name. And if this name destroys the child, then there would be no beautiful, melodious with a patronymic, astrological, blissful, it would still be harm, destruction of character, complication of life and aggravation of fate.

Below is a list of Italian names. Try to choose a few, the most suitable in your opinion for the child. Then, if you are interested in the effectiveness of the impact of the name on fate, .

Do you know how many Italian names there are in the world? Over ten thousand. True, some are so strange that it is difficult to name them.

For example, half a century ago, the manner of children simply numbering was very common. Still full of older men named Primo("first"), Secondo("second") and so on. The other day in the hospital, I ran into a respectable octogenarian man named Sesto("sixth"), who explained to the doctor that yes, he was the sixth child in the family, to which the doctor was not at all surprised and in response told about his other patient, whose name Decimo("tenth"). There is also a real case of naming a child by the name Ultimo(“last”), and the wife of the desperate dad immediately became pregnant again and the next child was named without further ado Dakapo("again").

There are plenty of Italian Dazdraperms and other curtsy - sometimes towards historical and cultural characters ( Garibaldo- in honor of the national hero Giuseppe Garibaldi, Verdo- in honor of the composer Verdi and even Dante- in honor of you know who, and they often like to call twins Giordano And bruno), then in memory of historical events and their consequences ( Italy, Libero- "free", Inno- "hymn", Shopero- "strike" and even Impero- "empire", and the last two are male names), then in honor of some achievements of civilization ( Radio, formaldehyde- "formaldehyde" Shenz- "science"), or even just strange names (for example, Antavleva translated from the Romagnol dialect means approximately "you were not wanted").

If we return to normal names, then here, too, everything will be very neglected. So, one of the very fashionable male names today is Maikol, which is spelled like this: Maicol, and, of course, Michael was meant. In general, the craving for foreign names is very strong: quite often there are names that are deadly for a Russian Katya(Catia) Mashya(mascia) Sonya(Sonia) Katyusha(Catiuscia), as well as other foreignness in the form of Conchit, Lobsters, Natanov, Rebecca and Deborah (Deborah, and the last letter in Italian is not readable, and people each time have to clarify that it is necessary to write it). Lots of girls named Asia And India. Both spellings of the name Christian are equally common: both Christian and Cristian, and the name that has been terribly popular lately among the non-Muslim population Aisha they have three at all: Aisha, Aicha and Aiscia.

Not everyone, however, is in a hurry to move away from traditions, so normal Italian names, thank God, have not yet emerged. The top ten most popular classic Italian male names look like this (in descending order): Francesco, Alessandro, Andrea, Matteo, Lorenzo, Gabriele, Mattia, Luca, Davide, Riccardo. Antonio ranks sixteenth Giovanni- twenty-first, and the name Mario didn't even make it into the top 30.

Top 10 for girls: Julia, Sofia, Martina, Sarah, Chiara, Aurora, Georgia, Alessia, Francesca, Alice. Name Maria, which was the most popular for almost centuries, also flew out of the top thirty.

A separate and difficult story is the compatibility of the name and surname. The double namesakes of great people are commonplace and commonplace: variants of Alessandro Manzoni, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Galileo Galilei, and even more so Valentino Rossi are common and have not surprised anyone for a long time. But it's too simple and uninteresting. Where is it more fun and original for a son with a surname Quercha("oak") to give a name Pinot("pine"). So some citizens are outrageous in this regard over their offspring as best they can.

For example, simple Italian names Dina And Dario at the whim of a certain father-original named Lamp, which in itself means nothing, they turned the unfortunate children into a Light Bulb (lampadina) and a Chandelier (lampadario) for life.

A peppy father named Pizza, not meaning anything bad, called his daughter a simple Italian name margherita. Since then, all her documents have been more like a menu, because Margherita pizza is one of the classics and is found in absolutely all
pizzerias.

One of the rare surnames in the south of the country Stabene by itself can turn its owner into a walking anedote, because it means nothing more than "he / she is fine." But in combination with the name of Dante, the effect is enhanced, because it turns out that the great Italian poet feels good in the next world.

And how could you not give your daughter the name already mentioned here Italy, having the surname Albanese, that is, "Albanian / aya"! Albanian Italy - so that no one doubts
in the hospitality of this country towards foreigners.

Sometimes the options for combining a first and last name are so on the verge of decency that one can only wonder how parents even came up with such things. Poor girl named Chiapetta(a diminutive of the word "buttock") received from good parents not some name, but Divina i.e. "divine". The Russian woman Venera Krivenkaya is simply crying with envy for this Divine Buttock.

The heaviest curses among Italians are those associated with blasphemy - the so-called parolacci. All the more strange to meet a girl named Madonna but with last name Lafika, which in separate spelling gives no more and no less than a slang term for the female genital organ! Careless parents forced the daughter to blaspheme every time she had to introduce herself to someone.

One of the folk anecdotes says that the most famous and beloved Italian is called Domenica Aperto. It seems to be nothing - the name and surname are quite ordinary. Who is this stranger and why is she so favored by the Italian people? It's simple: "Domenica aperto" is an inscription on a frequently seen sign posted on the doors of shops, and it only means that on Sundays (domenica translates precisely as the seventh day of the week) the aperto establishment, that is, is open.

And finally, the saddest option. A boy with a completely uncomplicated name and surname Remo Mori is a worthy monument to the pessimism of his parents, for the verb "moriremo" is translated as "we will die."
