It is very difficult to come up with a name for a newborn girl. The easiest way is to choose a name in honor of the Saint on whose day the baby was born. But the Italian people have gone further, they can name their child Friday, Tuesday. Translated into Russian, this girl's name may look funny, but in Italian Friday sounds like Venerdi - a beautiful Italian name. In addition, the Italians gave their children serial numbers as names, this unusual and interesting way came to the Italians from the time when families were large and large. Ordinal numbers in Italian sound very beautiful: Prima, Settima, Ottavina, Quinta. Not like in Russian: first, second, third ...

But now the opposite is true, young families call their children whatever they want. That is why the list of Italian girls' names is replenished almost every year.

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!

Sincerely, Oleg and Valentina Svetovid

Many names of Italy are of ancient origin.. Initially, they arose from nicknames or the name of the area where the family lived.

From the 16th century in the Apennines begin to name children by surname of fathers and grandparents.

So, the eldest son was called the same as the paternal grandfather, and the eldest daughter was called the maternal grandmother; the second son and the second daughter were named respectively by the names of the maternal grandfather and grandmother.

If there are more than two children in the family, then they were called in honor of parents or one of the deceased relatives.

Many still receive the names of saints of the Catholic Church to this day. Meet and rooted Greek names e.g. Sophia.

During the conquests of Italian territories by Arabs and Jews, their national names came across, but now they are almost extinct.

In some names, a foreign pronunciation currently prevails, for example, the Spanish Louise instead of the Italian Luigi.

Now traced tendency to simplify names instead of complex ones composite forms.
