Fancy roaming to Milan, Venice, Roam? Not only are these places unique and beautiful; so are the Italian Girl names. Italy has a rich tradition too. Latin names like Antonio, Angelo, and Mia have been popular. Baby girl names like Tiziana are exotic and mysterious.

Italian names originated in Latin or have Latinized versions from other languages. As traditions have it, Italian babies are named based on the names of their grandparents, choosing names from the father's side family first and then from the mother's side. In olden times, names were either a saint's name or had other strong religious beliefs. If you know the Italian equivalent, you can tweak the name even after keeping the tradition alive.

Many common Italian names are known to be derived from the Bible since the major practiced religion is Roman Catholicism. Babies are frequently given saint names, either the saint honored on the day of their birth or sometimes a patron saint of the area. Some Italian babies are given names that reflect the season they were born. Adding a ‘little’ (diminutive form) ending to a name, such as etto/etta or ino/ina, is an old custom. It can distinguish a younger child from an older one with the same name and is also occasionally used as a nickname (1).

Italian baby names add a little bit of la dolce vita to any child's life, whether given to honor legendary figures or to express the essence of its culture. There are many such beautiful names with meanings in the list below. Your baby girl deserves these beautiful names even if you are not of Italian origin. These names resonate with a timeless charm and are an attractive choice of baby names for parents all over the world.
