Would love to hear some "old" Italian names! Being from America it's easier to find the "newer" names from other countries vs "older"
hii! fellow italian here💕 you see, many old italian names are considered ugly, and aren't used anymore, in fact you're most likely to not find anybody over 50 years old with this kind of names, some even over 70
i guess it's pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to stream new series online?
Great video! Loved hearing all the Italian names :)
Thanks guys!
My granddaughter middle name is Vittoria. In the US, Victoria is somewhat popular but my daughter wanted the Italian version!
Isabella is very popular in the USA. Ciao!
I swear I have like 7 Italian friends named Francesco, I can't keep track of them all 😂
Hahaha one time I had a group of friends where there were 3 Francesco and 1 Francesca, when someone called "Fra!" (short for both) they all used to turn around lol
Omg that's the worst 😂 these are the benefits of having a unique name hahaha
May be your friend too Helena from Uganda Africa 🙏🏾♥️😘
Haha!
I think it is normal to hand first names down through the generations. I feel it hands children a legacy that they will grow into and appreciate. In my family we have Cristoforo, Alfonso, Salvatore, Paolo, Lorenzo and Pietro for the boys and Francesca, Rosa, Nicoletta, Marianna, Angela and Carmela. All are very old names but I think old names are classic style.
Family tree is full of Francesco, Giuseppe, and Sebastiano
YAYYY my name 2:17
That was very informative, interesting and quite funny. Glad you enjoyed it, we did too.Very kind of you to give me a mention.🙈🤗👋✌
I enjoyed filming this video A LOT and I think you could tell haha
Sure for the mention! You've always been supportive! :D
Francesco does not surprise me at all. Thank you, Pope and Totti!
in Rome, Totti, i think
Grazie for the correct pronunciation of these lovely names. Grazie per questo video, molto interessante! Era divertente quando ridevi perché i nomi erano vecchi o usati per l’altro sesso haha
Hello again! so I had a baby boy last August and was looking for a middle name for him and then I happen to meet this girl who is half italian (from her dads side) and she mentioned that her brother's name was Salvatore, I immediately fell in love with this name and i named my son Adam Salvatore. i am still in love with this name.. is this a common name in Italy? if a have a baby girl next time i think Aurora will be a perfect name. great video!
It's quite common in Sicily, and to some extent in southern Italy, but it's very rare in the north side of the country.
GIORNO GIOVANNI?!
I really dont think names ever go out of fashion, and when it comes to in fashion names, they often give a hint to how old the owner is as they all seem to be of the same era. There are lots of Italian names I have heard in my country that no one has mentioned. My daughters are Marisa and Annalisa both Italian but I have changed them a bit to fit my country. Added a s in Marisa and dropped the A off the end of Annalisa. Have many names in our family that have not been mentioned Antonietta, Natale, Pasquale Frederico. Steffano, Luca, Marco, Mario, Damiano, Pietro Immaculata, Teresa etc
I'm 100% Italian,just found your channel!!Ciao
Francesco of courses s very Popular in Rome.....the most famous is Totti
@Alexandra Richard hum??????
In the uk Francesca, Maria, and Bella are used and I think they’re Italian or at least of Italian origins.
New italian names I’ve come across online are chiara (which you’ve mentioned) and federica :))
Federica is quite common in my generation too!
There's also the male version "Federico" :)
Rome Inside when I first came across it I thought it was so unusual :)) I’ve never heard of anything like that before, my favourite Italian name is Valentina 😊
Haha I can imagine!
I don't know if you knew it but Valentina has a male version too: Valentino :)
Rome Inside I love all the male equivalents haha :’)
Bella comes from Isabella, I don't know if it's more of a Spanish name rather than Italian but meh.
I am an Italian American and some common given names in our family are Rolando, Achille, Emil, Liana, Doretha, and Lauretta even Edgia. I have always thought they were unusual. Happy to know these names are no longer in circulation xo
And am Italian aswell from UK some of the names are silmer to English like joeself the opesitse name of mine
Lot of Connie's/concettas Vito's and Joey's and Maria's
I'd like to learn where my mom's family is from but I cant find any info on their names or where they're from and they're all old and dying now.
My daughters name is MiaBella but it's because my mom liked that name and never had the chance to use it and I liked how it sounds
People in Brazil these days swear that Enzo Gabriel (for boys) and Valentina (for girls) are two very Italian names. Also very much seen over here are Vincenzo and Giulia. Nice video! :)
Valentina, Vincenzo and Giulia are actual Italian names! :D
Enzo exists as a name on its own but it's not modern. Also we have Gabriele (not Gabriel) which is more used than Enzo, but I've never heard them together!
Thanks for the feedback! :)
I hear Isabella, Regina, Gabriella, Dante, Guiseppe, Olivia, and Ava a fair bit at work, and I work in a pharmacy so I hear a lot of names. Maria is the most popular but I have a lot of Spanish speaking customers. But I do hear some of those other names...and Francesco.
Love the name Pia, and my favorite is my mothers name Enza Elodia who has not lived in Italy for more than 60 years.
Elodia is such a unique name, I really like how it sounds!
A big hug to your italian mom :)
My boyfriend is Sicilian, his great grandparents moved here from Messina. His great grandmothers name was Bettina.
One of my little loves is Matteo! 💙
Lol Chiara sounds exactly like cucumber in Arabic
oof 😂😂
Dipende sempre da quale parte dell'Italia vieni. Io vivo in Campania, e Anna è molto comune. Come anche se trovano delle Filomena, e la versante femminile di Rosario, cioè Rosaria, da sola o più spesso come Mariarosaria(non so se si scrive comunque staccato).
Vero! Questi che ho detto sono i più comuni in Italia secondo l'ISTAT.
Filomena e Rosaria sono ancora usati per le bambine? Pensavo fossero andati un po' in disuso anche al sud :D
Rosaria ok, ma Rosario usato come nome femminile no pietà! Hahaha
i have cousins names Francesca and Alessandra😂😂
Mi chiamo Giovanni, e questo è un nome molto comune qui in Brasile
I’m from Colombia and Rosario is a very common female name in South America and Spain
Few comments, just from my observations:
first, you might have also gone over the (subtle) differences between southern and northern Italian names...as far as I know, eg. boys names like Ciro is southern (esp from Napoli), while names like Pierluigi, Gianluca, Virginio are northern, generally.
For girls, names like Tiziana, Nunzia, Lucia, Angela, Maria, Pasqualina are southern, while Iolanda, Adriana, are northern :)
I've also noticed a more 'Anglicised' range of names creeping in (which I hate). I mean...calling your boy Bryan or Kevin??? What is that!? It's Italy! At least go for Antonio or Francesco! :))
plus,
Ancient Roman names should come back, they were awesome! Flavius Claudius Lucius Vorenus :)
We named our daughter Mia Isabella just because we like the way it sounds but I was wondering if Isabella is a Italian name or Spanish?
The name Isabella has Spanish/Occitan origins. It is a common name both in Italy and Spain, although in Italian the double letter "LL" is pronounced like a standard "L" but longer, and in Spanish it is pronounced like a "y" or "j" sound.
Hi Niki!
Marco is right, it has spanish origins but if you pronounce it with the italian double L it's totally an italian name! :)
I wanna know if Sergio and Miguel are popular or ever used in Italy. Really like the name and wanna change mine to Sergio. Thanks
Martina is so pretty.
I love Alice
What about Giovanni and Guiseppe?
Is elenora one?
Rosario is a male name here in the u.s and mexico as well.
Yo conozco puras Rosarios mujeres
My grandfather from Palazzo Adriano named his American children Benedetto, Tomaso, Giovanni, Anna, Pasquale, Parma, Ignacio, Josephine, Virginia and Antonio
They're almost all italian names! :D
Ignacio = Ignazio
Josephine = Giuseppina
Never heard of someone called Parma, but I mean, it's still an italian city haha
I recently found my grandfather's mother is named Palma and his first four children are named after their grandparents. On the earliest U.S. Census his infant first daughter is Palma but later census show her as Parma. My grandparents spoke no English when they arrived in the U.S. and the census taker likely did not speak Italian.
American's of Italian descent often name their daughters some form of Giovanna, Gia, Gianna. I have never heard it in Italy though
My aunt's name is Giovanna. Giovanna and Gianna are used here in Italy. Never heard of Gia.
What about name Iria? I know girl with such name in Italia
My kids will definitely be Valentina, Alessandro, Matteo and / or Emilia (my boyfriend (he is half italian, half german) and I want to have 3 children) 😊👍🏼
What no Maria? Felicia?
I have Pepino, Dominic, Carmella, Rosa, Rose Marie, Joseph, Frank......some Americanized
Right; i do know that, in Spanish-speaking countries/cultures, names such as "Rosario", "Amparo" and "Consuelo" are indeed 'female' names (ie, names 'for/of' females) and, i must admit, i really do like them quite a bit. Also, i really like "Don(n)atella" - like, la Signora Versace, tanta fabolosa ({; D ...! And how about names such as "Giulianna", "Giovanna", "Daria", "Adrianna" - et al: are any of those at all popular these days...? ~Truly fun and interesting video, **Elisa*;* grazie mille!!
Ayyy, my name is Emilia😁❤
Same
Tutti i figli dei miei amici / colleghi /parenti si chiamano matteo, iacopo , giacomo, martina, sofia e valentina
5:57 That is literally my name. Except it’s pronounced Air-e-anna
Alessandro is such a sexy name. :) I love it.
Hey
How about ugo
Wat about luca
My family men are all named Carmine / Leonardo / Cosimo / Giuseppe / Domenico /Salvatore / Antonio / Guido.
The women are Carmela / Rosa / Maria/ Concetta.
Exept for Leonardo, Giuseppe, Antonio, Guido and Maria I would say the rest are old fashioned names that you will hardly hear (I'm talking about new generations btw)
My grandma's brother was called Carmine and another one Antonio :)
Rome Inside my boyfriends dad is a Carmine (they still use ist a lot in the region around naples) 🥰👍🏼 and I love the nickname Carminuc
so many f1 related names
My Great Grandfather was Celestino
Wow
Pov: reading some Italian mafia romances 🤣
My papa was Colgero. Immigration changed it to Charles when he came to the U.S.
You mean Calogero? But the real question is why the immigration changed his name?
My name is bella and I'm Australian
I liked the video! How about the names: Elise, Elizabeth, Elaine, and Caroline?
Thanks! :)
We have some italian equivalents for those:
Elisa (my name); Elisabetta; for Elaine I don't think we have a translation; Carolina.
Elaine... Maybe "Elena"?
@@RomeInside We have "Eliana" as an equivalent of Elaine, but probably it's not so common today, it was common in my generation (born in the 70s).
My daughter is DALILA
I’m Italian and my names on there martina ❤️🇮🇹
Are there any Italian baby boy names meaning Eagle or have any kind of bird meaning? I have dying to find an Italian baby boy name with this meaning
I'm Italian, I don't think there are names like this in Italy. searching a bit I discovered that the name "Aquila" exists. Aquila in English means eagle. It's a name of Roman origin, and I've never heard it used by anyone.
there is also "Falco" which translates as falcon, as Aquila is a very rare name. (PS sorry for my english)
Is Roberta common in Italy? What about Michele or Virginia? My great grandparents were Michele and Virginia Moroni and immigrated to the U.S. from Santa Maria a Monte (just outside of Florence) in the early 1900s...
Virginia is a very old name...Michele is pretty common. Roberta is used most in male version Roberto
I'm Italian and Roberta is common on 60's generation..
interessante ~
Where I love in the US I know about
8 people named Salvatore but they pronounce it Salvator?!?
Khy J I assume since it's been americanized
What about Melissa? Is it a common girl name in Italy?
Yes it's a common baby name
What about Contessa/Contessina for a girl? Are those used at all? We were thinking of Alessandra.
Never heard of those, might be really old-fashioned names :)
Alessandra is used even today!
@@RomeInside Yeah we thought so. We went with Alessandra Luna.
My kids are Sophia (and i pronounce it like you do in italian) and Philip. I heard you have Phillipa for girls there. To me is weird to make it feminin.
Actually Filippa (not Philipa) is very rare, we usually have Filippo (equivalent for Philip) 🙂
We also have the name Rosario in Portugal, but it’s a girl’s name 😂
I was named after my great grandmother, iolanda. Is that an old name in italian?
yes is old but i know one Iolanda
Iolanda (sometimes spelled as JOLANDA but with the same pronunciation in Italian) is a kind of "vintage" name. I had an old aunt called Iolanda.
How about Niccola for a girl?
my name is Giuliana:)
Lovely name!
Chiara 😍
Beautiful lady you are..
Elenora
Zita in Sicilian means girlfriend and zito boyfriend .lol
Boy names- Bassanio, Antonio, Gratiano, Prospero, Alonso
The best male names in my family are Socrate and Ottavio.
Hahha my name mattia francesco😂😂
My name is Fiorella, is that still used? Lol
It's an Italian name for female but not used anymore 🤷♂️🙄
I like Adelina and Valentina but not sure it’s Italian.
Angela Rosano valentina is very common for women bwteeen the age of 25 and 43 . It’s my sister name . Adelina is old fashion , while Adele is a bit more common .
Sergioo😜
My favorite is..Greta , Amelia,Francesca,Angelina❤and man is..Salvatore,Luigi,Tony,Domenico,Imperatori,Franco,Giacomo.👍
Mio padre rosario.. mio zio francesco...
I love the name Andrea but i’m American so I feel it won’t sound as pretty and too feminine for my baby boy?
Andrea means literraly manly is greek origin from andreas wich means male
I will never understand why people abroad use the name Andrea for women ... Have they never looked for its meaning? Andrea comes from the Greek name Ἀνδρέας (Andréas) and means "manly", "masculine" ... I don't understand why they love to call their daughters "manly man"...
And Greece is a Latin word ...what's your point
Elisa true m andros means man, androgen so the male hormones . All that start with andr means male basically .
my name is Dino
I'm only 9 years old
Ava potrebbe Essere da Avalda
Vero, ma è così vecchio e poco usato che non capisco come sia arrivato all'estero sinceramente haha
my name actually IS Rosario
Hi
Ecco.......... in America......... Enzo, Mario, Italo, Bruno, Antonio, Maria, Maria, Maria, Emma,
my last name is Francesco
Gianna
Gia
Giovanna
Ariana
I love Gabriele
I prefer Renata
is antonio common
Yes, I would say it's still pretty used :)
it's an ugly one though
I'll change my last name to giovanna and i'll name my kid Giorno :pp
good
You forgot Antonio and Maria......Anna Antonietta Tullio Juliet Domenico Nicola etc. etc.
Tullio? you mean the roman king? Not very popular as a name, maybe in Rome, I don't know. Juliet is not Italian at all, the Italian version of Juliet is "Giulietta" like Giulietta from Giulietta e Romeo (Juliet and Romeo in English). Domenico is an old name and Nicola is still used today.
I’m American and my name is Giannina. My husband is from Italy and he says Giannina isn’t a real name in Italy it’s just a cute version of Gianna. I’m not Italian and I hate my name 😂😂😂😂 My family is mexican and thought an “Italian” name would be fancy lmao it’s an embarrassment
ayyooo andrea pirlo
Emma is not Italian, though.
alderhill it is also Italian . It’s been used in Italy for ever .
Wheres GIANLUCA!!??? OR did I miss it!? Or further still, is it not Italian!?
Is Pietra a name ever used in Italy???
It doesn't exist. Pietro is a variation of Piero and its female version is Piera
@@JusticeSolaris85 Thank you I appreciate your comment! I’ve been told by people including the girl in this video that the name does exist but it is a very old and rare name. My cousin’s name is Pietro and I always liked Pietra as a variation after I met an Italian lady client with that name. However I already called my daughter Pietra and everyone comments on how beautiful and unique the name is, so I’m happy :)
@@RedWolf5 Pietra in italian means rock, so it may be quite ridicoulus
@@RedWolf5 And yeah, i made a little mistake, it exists, but it's very rare, especially in Sicily
@@JusticeSolaris85 I understand; my family is from the north and I believe we’ve had a family friend or distant family member who’s had the name in the very past. I really like the name and I think is a very strong representation of how I would like to be as she grows up. I like the newer Italian names but I believe they are focused on cuteness while the older ones to me have more meaning and more character that’s why I picked it.
