Popular Italian female name. Italian female names and their meanings
Coming up with a name for a newborn girl seems simple until you face it yourself. Most easy way- this is named 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, a girl’s Italian name may look funny, but in the language itself, Friday will sound like Venerdi, and Sunday will sound like Domenica. Who hasn't dreamed of such beautiful Italian names? So, jokes aside, because it will be even more fun.
Funny Italian Girl Names
Even more interesting way Italians give names to girls - according to their numeral. This custom comes from the times when families had many children and named newborns in order of birth: Seventh, First, Eighth, Fifth. On Italian these names also sound beautiful: Settima, Prima, Ottavina, Quinta. Just don't confuse numbers and serial numbers in Italian: the number three translated into Russian is “tre”, and the numeral “third” is Terzo. Do you agree, why not a name for a child?
Now it’s clear where such beautiful Italian ones came from. female names. One thing is strange, why do they like ordinary numerals so much? This is difficult for a Russian person to understand, because in our country such a custom has not taken root, and the First, Third and even Seventh people do not run through the streets. How 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 at night over her passport.
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 the fate of the ordinal name has overtaken only women Italian names.
Italian female names and family traditions
Previously, strict rules were followed for naming a child, and this mainly concerned ancestors: first-born children were named after their grandparents, and the rest - after their great-grandmothers and the names of uncles and aunts. This custom demonstrates the reverent attitude and reverence for family ties in Italy.
If we look at this in more detail family custom, then the daughter who was born first will bear the name of the father's mother. The second, respectively, is the mother's mother. The third daughter was named after her mother, and the fourth daughter was named 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 named as a recently deceased member of the family.
The influence of other countries and religions on name formation in Italy
On this moment the fashion for foreign names for girls and boys, and do not forget about the tradition of calling by the name of the saint on whose day the child was born. The Roman Catholic Church added Roman origins to the list of Italian baby names.
The most popular female names in Italy: Domenica ( Domenica), Giulia, Alessia, Chiara, Sveta in our opinion, Francesca, Sara, Federica, Silvia, Martina, Elisa . The affectionate diminutive derivatives of such names sound approximately like this: Ellie, Lesi, Fede, Frani, Dzhuli.

Italian names. Italian female names and their meanings
Attention!
Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters are using our name, our email addresses for your newsletters, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magical forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for conducting magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).
On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this.
Note! We do not engage in healing or 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 they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, we always write that you need to be 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 times have come when slander pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander 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 and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud.
There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness.
Therefore, please be careful!

Significant factors in the formation of names
Modern Italian names are largely of Roman origin, some of which are found in ancient myths. Interestingly, some of them during the reign Ancient Rome were only nicknames, which then lost their meaning and became full names. For example, Flavio means "fair-haired".
Not without the influence of the church: most of names was formed from the names of Catholic saints. These are such famous Italian names as Sofia, Madonna, Venus, Felice, Sergio, Carlo, Petro and others.
Modern Italian names for men were derived from Latin ones by replacing the ending –us with the Italian –o or –e. Options with the suffixes –ino, -ello, -iano are also popular: Andrea, Lorenzo, Davide, Mattia, Alessandro, Francesco, Antonio, Giovanni, Donatello, Adriano.
Name naming trends today
Popular Italian female names are formed from male names by changing the ending (-o to –a), as well as using the suffixes –ella, -ina, -etta: Chiara, Aurora, Aliche, Maria, Anna, Giuseppina, Juliet.
It should be noted that modern Italians, when choosing names for their children, gravitate more towards short and memorable options. And if a couple of generations ago the tradition of giving compound names(Pierpaolo, Giampiero), then today she is no longer held in high esteem. Nowadays, fashion influences are more about choosing names after sports idols and movie stars.
In Italy it is not easy for parents who decide to name their child unusual name. Registration authorities may not approve everything: the court may prohibit the use of a particular name if it may be in in a certain sense dangerous for the child. For example, a few years ago, a court forbade an Italian couple 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). Forms with diminutive suffixes, which end in -ino, -etto, -ello, -iano.
According to statistics collected a few years ago, boys in Italy are most often called 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 strikingly different from what could be seen half a century ago, when the top three were Giuseppe, Giovanni and Antonio.
Female names
Most male names also have a feminine 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 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%), Aliche (1.6%). In the middle of the last century, girls were most often 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 ancient names
As already mentioned, in the past, very often a child’s name was given in honor of a saint. But even then many of them were very unusual and rare: Castenza, Calcedonio, Baltassare, Cipriano, Egidio. The use of such names was limited to areas where these saints were well known and revered. But non-religious names in the times of Christianity might not appear at all in civil registration documents: it was often replaced by the closest sounding Christian analogue or was not indicated at all.
During the conquests of the Franks, Normans and Lombards, such Italianized versions as Arduino, Ruggiero, Grimaldo, Teobaldo appeared. Before the rise of the Inquisition, Jewish and Arabic names, but later almost completely disappeared.
Among Christian names, the majority are Roman Latin, but there are also Greek ones: Ippolito, Sophia. Some Orthodox variants were Latinized and adopted in Catholic society: Yuri turned into Yorio, Nikola into Nikolo.
Another category of disappeared names are those that were supplanted more modern version. For example, the name Louise, which is of Spanish origin, is quite widely used today, while the original Italian 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. Or 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 country had big influence Piedmonese and Sicilian dialects, 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 official language. Thus, immediately large group 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 emerged at that time.
Finding the roots of rare ancient names today is quite difficult. Most of the records were 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, which was common in the Albanian communities in the south and in Rome, was determined. They appeared after Constantine's victory on the Milvian Bridge (Ponte Milvio).
Enough interesting class medieval names are derivatives of a common name, formed using suffixes. This was often 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 Caterina - Catrinella, from Margarita - Margaritella, from Giovanni and Giovanna - Giovanello, Giovanella, Ianella and Janella.
Barbaro is men's uniform named Barbara, and Barbriano comes from male version. The names Mintsiko and Masullo also come from the female Mintsika and Misulla. Geronimo is an obsolete version of the name Gerolamo. And the name Cola is nothing more than a shortening of Nikola, like Toro, which has nothing to do with bulls (toro), but only represents short form from Salvatore. Bastiano is a shortened form of the name Sebastiano. Minico, Minica, Minichello and Minichella come from the previously 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 royalty, but refers to Mary, the mother of Christ. From Mary came the forms Mariella and Mariuccia.
The names of saints were not always of ancient origin. In old records you can find such options as Providenza (providence), Felicia (well-being), Dea (goddess), Potenzia (power), Vergine and Virgin (chastity), Madonna, Santa (saint), Bellissima (beauty), Venus, Boniface and Benefacia, Doniza (bestowed), Violanti (fury), Mercurio and the name of unknown origin Shumi (Xhumi).
The female names Orestina, Furella, Fiuri, Ferenzina, Cumonau and Doniza were unusual even in the 16th century, as were the male names Valli, Zalli, Galiotto, Manto, Vespristiano and Angiolino.
As in Russia, any Italian has a first and last name. At least since the 16th century, a tradition has developed in Italy of naming children after their ancestors., so the first son received the name of his paternal grandfather, then the first daughter received the name of his paternal grandmother, and the second son received the name of his maternal grandfather, and the second daughter received the name of her maternal grandmother. The remaining children received the names of their parents, or the names of their closest 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 center, Italian mothers and fathers with enviable consistency prefer to name their 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 residents of the Apennines.
These are the most traditional names how 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 Pablo Picasso's work named their sons Nepomuken (one of the artist's many names). The “symbiosis” of actor Johnny Depp and the legendary Brazilian football player Pele became official name boy Pejon. U true patriots daughters bear the proud name Italy.
And yet the question “what to call it?” 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, have to thank the beloved of the great Dante Alighieri for their name.
