The 100 most popular Italian baby namesCatherine Delahaye


Whether you want to honour your family’s heritage or you and your boo simply went on an amaaazing trip to Tuscany and you want to cherish those memories by giving your kiddo a moniker inspired by your vacay, there are plenty of Italian baby names to choose from. (Side note: If you’re picking a name based on where your lil one was conceived, I salute you. Please invite me to witness the moment when you horrify your 8-year-old with that information.)

I’m guessing you probably don’t have time to research the best Italian baby names by jetting off to Rome, which is why I’ve gone ahead and put together a list of the 100 most popular Italian baby names—with some help from the Italian National Institute of Statistics, which is kind of like the Italian version of the Census Bureau. The INIS keeps track of all the babies born in Italy plus what people are naming their new bbs. Here are the most popular Italian baby names so you can start ordering monogrammed gear as soon as possible.

By the way, if you’re still on the fence about committing to the Italian route, spend some time perusing the following lists: old fashioned names we still love, Bridgerton-inspired baby names, and, finally, royal baby names for parents who want to keep it traditional. Good luck!
