Significant naming factors

Modern Italian names are largely of Roman origin, some of which are found in ancient myths. It is interesting that some of them during the reign of Ancient Rome were only nicknames, which then lost their meaning and became full-fledged names. For example, Flavio means "blonde".

Not without the influence of the church: most of the names were formed from the names of Catholic saints. These are such famous Italian names as Sofia, Madonna, Venus, Felicia, Sergio, Carlo, Petro and others.

Modern Italian names for men were formed from Latin ones by replacing the ending -us with the Italian -o or -e. Variants with suffixes -ino, -ello, -iano are also popular: Andrea, Lorenzo, Davide, Mattia, Alessandro, Francesco, Antonio, Giovanni, Donatello, Adriano.

Naming trends today

Popular Italian female names are formed from male ones by changing the ending (-o to -a), as well as using the suffixes -ella, -ina, -etta: Chiara, Aurora, Alice, Maria, Anna, Giuseppina, Juliet.

It should be noted that modern Italians, choosing names for their children, gravitate more towards short and memorable options. And if a couple of generations ago it was fashionable to give compound names (Pierpaolo, Giampiero), today it is no longer held in high esteem. Now the influence of fashion is more about the choice of names in honor of sports idols and movie stars.
In Italy, it is not easy for parents who decide to name their child with an unusual name. Not everyone can be approved by the registration authorities: the court can prohibit the use of a particular name if it can be dangerous for the child in a certain sense. For example, a few years ago, a court forbade a couple of Italians to name their child Friday.

Male names

Most male Italian names were formed from Latin prototypes by replacing the common ending -us with -o (less often -a or -e). There are also forms with diminutive suffixes that end in -ino, -etto, -ello, -iano.

According to statistics compiled a few years ago, boys in Italy are most often called by the names of Francesco (3.5%), Alessandro (3.2%), Andrea (2.9%), Matteo (2.9%), Lorenzo (2 .6%), Gabriele (2.4%), Mattia (2.2%), Riccardo (2%), Davide (1.9%), Luca (1.8%). It is worth noting that this list is very different from what could be seen half a century ago, then Giuseppe, Giovanni and Antonio were in the top three.

Women's names

Most male names also have a female form, changing the ending -o to -a. The names of saints are very popular, as well as variants with the endings -ella, -etta, -ina.

The most common female given names today are Julia (3.5%), Sofia (3.2%), Martina (2.6%), Sarah (2.6%), Chiara (2.3%), Georgia ( 2.1%), Aurora (1.8%), Alessia (1.8%), Francesca (1.6%), Alice (1.6%). In the middle of the last century, most often girls were called Maria, Anna and Giuseppina.

In general, if you take a list of the thirty most popular names in Italy, then their owners will be 50% of men and 45% of women.

Rare and old names

As already mentioned, in the past, very often the name of the child was given in honor of a saint. But even then, many of them were very unusual and rare: Castenze, Calchedonio, Baltassare, Cipriano, Egidio. The use of such names was limited to the area where these saints were well known and revered. But non-religious names during the time of Christianity might not appear at all in civil records: often it was replaced by the closest sounding Christian counterpart or not indicated at all.

During the conquests of the Franks, Normans and Lombards, such Italianized options appeared as Arduino, Ruggiero, Grimaldo, Theobaldo. Before the rise of the Inquisition, Jewish and Arabic names were common, but later they almost completely disappeared.

Among Christian names, the majority are Roman-Latin, but there are also Greek ones: Ippolito, Sofia. Some Orthodox variants were Latinized and accepted in the Catholic society: Yuri turned into Yorio, Nikola into Nikolo.

Another category of names that have disappeared are those that have been superseded by a more modern version. For example, today the name Luisa, which is of Spanish origin, is quite widely used, while the Italian original sounds like Luigia.

Some novice researchers confuse some very similar names with Italian names. For example, the name Donna is not an Italian name at all. Rather, such a word exists in Italian, but is widely used exclusively as a designation for a woman. But Madonna is a traditional Italian name, which was quite common in the old days.

In the Middle Ages, the Piedmonese and Sicilian dialects had a great influence on the territory of the country, which brought with them a considerable number of names specific to themselves. They lost popularity and disappeared when the Tuscan dialect was recognized as the state language. Thus, at once a large group of names that prevailed in the 16th century were completely forgotten in the 18th century. Surprisingly, part of this group was revived in the last century, when there was a surge of interest in them among the bourgeois class that arose at that time.

Finding the roots of rare old names today is quite difficult. Most of the records have been lost, and scientists prefer to focus on the records of the southern regions, as the most complete and reliable. This is how the origin of the names Milvia and Milvio was determined, which was common in the Albanian communities in the south and in Rome. They appeared after the victory of Constantine on the Milvian bridge (Ponte Milvio).

A rather interesting class of medieval names is represented by derivatives of a common name, formed with the help of suffixes. Often this was done with the names of children named after older relatives, in order to simultaneously indicate both kinship and individuality. From Antonio came Antonello and Antonino, as well as Antonella and Antonina, from Katerina - Katrinella, from Margarita - Margaritella, from Giovanni and Giovanna - Giovanello, Giovanella, Ianella and Gianella.

Barbaro is the masculine form of the name Barbara, and Barbriano comes from the male version. The names Mintsiko and Masullo also came from the female Mintsika and Misulla. Geronimo is an obsolete variant of the name Gerolamo. And the name Cola is nothing more than an abbreviation for Nikola, like Toro, which has nothing to do with bulls (toro), but only represents a short form of Salvatore. Bastiano is a shortened form of the name Sebastiano. Miniko, Minika, Minikello and Minikella are derived from the earlier common names Domenico and Domenica.

Several names are derived from the titles of their masters. For example, Marquise, Tessa (from contessa - countess), Regina (queen). In fact, the name Regina does not refer to belonging to the royal family, but refers to Mary - the mother of Christ. From Mary came the forms Mariella and Mariuccia.

The names of the saints were not always of ancient origin. In old records, you can find options such as the Providence (Providenza - providence), Felicia (Felicia - well-being), Dea (Dea - goddess), Potency (Potenzia - power), Virgin and Virgin (Vergine / Virgin - chastity), Madonna, Santa (saint), Bellissima (beauty), Venus, Boniface and Benefacha, Doniza (bestowed), Violanti (fury), Mercurio and the name of obscure origin Shumi (Xhumi).
The female names Orestina, Furella, Fiuri, Ferencina, Cumonau and Doniz were unusual even for the 16th century, as were the male names Valli, Zalli, Gagliotto, Manto, Vespristiano and Angiolino.

As in Russia, every Italian has a first and last name. At least since the 16th century, a tradition has been developing in Italy for naming children by the names of their ancestors., so the first son received the name of the grandfather by the father, then the first daughter received the name of the grandmother by the father, and the second son received the name of the grandfather by the mother, the second daughter received the name of the grandmother by the mother. The rest of the children received the names of their parents, or the names of the nearest unmarried or deceased uncles and aunts. Because of this custom, the same names are repeated in Italian families from generation to generation.

Most of the names given to children at birth in Italy are from the names of saints of the Roman Catholic Church.

According to sociological research of the center, Italian mothers and fathers with enviable constancy prefer to name newborns boys - Francesco And girls - Julia. Other names included in the list of the most common in Italy: Alessandro, Mateo, Marco, Lorenzo - for the stronger sex and Sarah, Sofia, Elisa - for the inhabitants of the Apennines.

The most traditional names such as Maria, Nicola and Stefano are losing their popularity among young modern parents. They follow new fashion trends and personal, sometimes extravagant taste.

Several lovers of the work of Pablo Picasso named their sons Nepomukeni (one of the many names of the artist). The "symbiosis" of actor Johnny Depa and the legendary Brazilian football player Pele became the official name of the boy Pejon. True patriots have daughters with the proud name of Italy.

And yet the question "what to call?" depends on the religious and cultural preferences of the population of the regions of the peninsula. Italians Mateo live mostly in the north of the country, but Giuseppe and Laura are "legitimate" southerners and Sicilians. Thus, Giuseppe's parents pay tribute to Saint Giuseppe, the patron saint of the poor and disadvantaged, and the hero of Italy, the fighter for its unification, Giuseppe Garibaldi. And the beautiful senoritas of Laura, it seems, should thank the beloved of the great Dante Alighieri for their name.

Italy, like the Italians themselves, is famous around the world for its indomitable craving for beauty and self-expression. Having inherited a lot from the Roman Empire, this state continues to exist in a unique, unique cultural space. Among the many unique traditions, the formation of proper names stands out.

Italian names and surnames carry a unique emotional component, filled with Mediterranean charm and charm. What are the most beautiful names in Italy? We will learn about this and much more from this article.

Origin of Italian names

Italian names originate in the ancient Roman Empire. Initially, proper names there were nicknames given to a person for external features, character traits, or depending on the type of activity. Until now, parents call their children old names that were in use many centuries ago. Such primordially Roman names include the following: Luciano, Cesare, Pietro and Vittorio. The pronunciation may vary depending on the local dialect. So, in the northern regions, it was customary to pronounce Z instead of the usual G sound in the south. They contained Italian names and a considerable number of proper names borrowed from Germanic and other northern tribes, which over time were transformed into surnames.

How the names for little Italians and Italians were chosen

As mentioned above, the Italians initially named children based on their external data or according to the Catholic calendar. Italian female names, however, as well as male ones, include a large number of those that were once worn by biblical or local saints. In addition to religious beliefs, parents were often guided when choosing a name by what fate their child would have. Hence such meanings of Italian names as "lucky", "dove", "winner", "free" and so on. Often, they did not really think about choosing a name and named the newborn in honor of grandparents. By the way, this tradition still takes place in many Italian families, but we will talk about this a little later.

The influence of fashion trends on the choice of names in Italy

According to research data, there are more than 17 thousand names in Italy. A particularly rapid increase in their number occurred during the development of cinema, when parents named babies after their favorite characters. At the same time, changes were made to them that were adaptive for Italian society. An example of this is the statistics that indicate that at the beginning of the 20th century, more than half of the girls born in a year received the name Fyodor (that was the name of the main character of the opera popular at that time). With the advent of the turbulent 30-40s of the 20th century for Italy, the names Selvage and Libero, which in Italian sound like “rebel” and “free”, respectively, gained particular popularity.

Methods for the formation of Italian names

As in many language families, Italian names are formed mainly by changing endings and adding suffixes. Part of the names, borrowed from historical predecessors, was formed by the usual replacement of the ending "-us" with "-o". If in Latin the name sounded, for example, like "Mattius", then after changing the ending, a typical Italian name "Mattio" was formed. In addition, Italian names for men and women are often formed using diminutive suffixes: "-ello", "-ino", "-etto", "-ella" and so on. The names of Ricardinho, Rosetta and others can serve as an example of this.

Italian names differ from others in that they have a temperament that is inherent in every inhabitant of this country. And it's not so much in the translation of names, but in the combination of sounds. It is easy to pronounce them, the sounds do not pile up one on top of the other. That is why the names in Italy have a special melody.

The procedure for naming a baby in an Italian family

In the 16th century in Italy, a very interesting approach developed to the issue of naming born boys and girls, depending on the order of their birth. So, the first boy born in the family was given the name of his grandfather on his father's side. If a girl was born first, then she received the name from her paternal grandmother. The second son or daughter was called by the names of the maternal grandfather and grandmother. The third children (both sons and daughters) bore the names of their parents, and the subsequent ones bore the names of their paternal and maternal great-grandmothers, cousins ​​and second cousins ​​and uncles of their parents. Italian names (male) for the second and subsequent children were often chosen from among those that reminded of the holy defenders of the city in which the newborn's family lived.

The most beautiful names of Italian women: a list

It's time to find out which Italian female names are considered the most beautiful. In many European countries, they are considered an indicator of the special charm and charm of a young girl. The most popular names in Italy are Letizia ("Happiness"), Isabella ("Beautiful"), Laura and Adriana. It is worth noting that in recent years they have been called girls not only in the states neighboring Italy, but even in Russia, Asian countries and America. In addition, there is a whole list of Italian female names that are considered beautiful:

• Gabriella, which in Latin means "endowed with the power of God."
• Marcella (Marselitta), meaning "warrior woman", or "warrior woman".
• Siena ("tanned").
• Paola (Paoletta, Paolinha), which means "small".
• Rosella and Rosetta - "rose", "small, small rose".
• Francesca, which comes from the word "French".
• Gioseppe, Gioseppina - "retribution from Yahweh."

In families that adhere to Christian traditions (Catholic), the name Maria and its derivatives are considered beautiful: Marietta, Mariella, etc.

List of the most beautiful Italian names for boys

So, we have seen how beautiful the pronunciation of female Italian names is. Men's in this regard are no less melodic and attractive. Recall at least the most famous and well-known Italian name Leonardo, which means "like a lion", or Valentino, which translates as "possessing true strength." The Italians themselves consider beautiful such male names as Antonio, which translates as "invaluable", Luciano, meaning "light". The latter has been especially popular for many decades. A little less often, children are called Pasquale (“born on Easter day”), Romeo (“who made a pilgrimage to Rome”) and Salvatore (“savior”). The list of Italian names that are also distinguished by their special beauty includes such meanings as Fabrizio, which means “master” in Italian, Vincenzo, which is interpreted as “winner”, and Emilio (“competitor”).

As you can see, the sound of male names in Italy, if not superior, then definitely not inferior in beauty to the melodiousness of female ones. By the way, some of them are borrowed from among those that were originally given only to little Italians. For example, the currently popular names Francesco and Gabriele are among them.

The most popular names for boys and girls and Italy

According to the statistics of recent years, there is a list of especially popular names that are given to children in Italy. Most often, such beautiful Italian names as Alessandro and Andrea are used as the main name for boys. In second place in popularity are the names of Francesco and Matteo. The third step of the pedestal of popularity rightfully belongs to the names of Gabriele and Lorenzo. All of these names originate in Roman culture and are considered native Italian.

With female names in Italy, things are currently going a little differently. Those that were borrowed from other socio-cultural groups are very popular. In the last decade, Italian parents have increasingly begun to call their daughters Giorgia, Giulia and Chiara. Along with them, names with Roman roots are also used: Aurora, Paola and Martina.

Of course, this is not a complete list of names for boys and girls, which are considered the most beautiful among Italians. It is also worth remembering that in recent years, cases of name changes have become more frequent in Italy. Often, young men and women remain dissatisfied with the way their parents named them, and take a name for themselves from among the most, in their opinion, harmonious and fashionable.

The secrets associated with the meaning and origin of names at all times excited the minds of the inhabitants. Italian male names reflect the essence of this hot, passionate people. In general, the names are very beautiful.

Interesting facts about Italian male names

In Italy, heated arguments often flare up between parents and numerous relatives: in honor of whom to name the born baby. Everyone defends his own version and believes that he is right.

Are there traditions associated with addressing men in Italy? Does fashion influence the choice of a name for a boy?

Do you know that:

• in the Middle Ages children often named after saints. Now this tradition is preserved in the villages. Residents of large cities adhere to it less and less;
• most modern Italian names have a Latin basis. The ending -e or -o replaced the Latin -us. The transformation was facilitated by the suffixes -ello, -ino, -iano;
• during the Roman Empire there was an unusual tradition. The families were big. To avoid confusion, only four older boys were given names. The rest of the sons were called ordinal numbers, for example: Sextus - the sixth. Gradually, the original meaning was lost. Quint - does not always mean "fifth in a row";
• many young families name their children after famous people, show business and movie stars. In Italy, athletes are treated with great respect. The football craze led to the mass registration of new Paolo, Fabio, Fernando and Mario;
• in the XXII - XIX centuries, the most popular names were Giuseppe and Leonardo. Modern parents often called sons by the names of Fernando and Mario;
• there are creative parents who want to call their newborn an absurd or funny name in all countries. In Italy, eccentricities are fought at the legislative level. State authorities have the right to refuse parents to register an infant if the chosen name will bring suffering to the child in the future;
• fashion has not bypassed men's names. Previously, among the Italians there were many citizens who were addressed by Bartolomeo, Pierpaolo, Michelangelo. Shorter, more severe appeals are now popular.: Antonio, Pietro, Mario, Fabio.

Italian names. Italian female names and their meaning

Attention!

Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailing lists, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they drag people into various magical forums and deceive (giving advice and recommendations that can harm, or extorting money for magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).

On our sites, we do not provide links to magical forums or sites of magical healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this.

Note! We are not engaged in healing and magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.

The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books.

Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In all our lives, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, we always write that you need to be an honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.

People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The time has come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud.

There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. The police and other regulatory agencies are not yet able to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheat for profit" insanity.

So please be careful!

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 called 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), Elisa (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!
