Italian Word Names

Italian names are very fashionable these days, with choices like Isabella and Leonardo topping the American charts. If you’re after something more unique, we suggest looking in a new direction, toward foreign-word names, which combine two of today's coolest trends. In the US and Italy, Italian word names are more popular for girls, with choices like Bianca ("white") and Aurora ("dawn") among the top girl names in both countries.

Along with Bianca and Aurora, other Italian word names in the US Top 1000 include Aria, Bella, Gemma, Luna, Mira. In Italy, word names such as Giada, Gioia, Azzura, Ambra, are among the top baby names.

We combed our own dizionari for Italian words that could make perfectly appropriate, attractive Italian baby names. But no reason to stop here — consider words from the language of your own ethnic background, be it Czech or Chinese, and add them to the list of your personal possibilities.
