Would love to hear some "old" Italian names! Being from America it's easier to find the "newer" names from other countries vs "older"

[@kurta.lucre_]

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

[@zaneari4730]

i guess it's pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to stream new series online?

[@RiccardoandCoral]

Great video! Loved hearing all the Italian names :)

[@RomeInside]

Thanks guys!

[@elissa.dellaera]

I swear I have like 7 Italian friends named Francesco, I can't keep track of them all 😂

[@RomeInside]

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

[@elissa.dellaera]

Omg that's the worst 😂 these are the benefits of having a unique name hahaha

[@birungihelena4398]

May be your friend too Helena from Uganda Africa 🙏🏾♥️😘

[@Wandertheworldwithme]

Haha!

[@diesel748]

Isabella is very popular in the USA. Ciao!

[@pinkiegirl1947]

My granddaughter middle name is Vittoria. In the US, Victoria is somewhat popular but my daughter wanted the Italian version!

[@christophed8429]

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.

[@mikeyv498]

That was very informative, interesting and quite funny. Glad you enjoyed it, we did too.Very kind of you to give me a mention.🙈🤗👋✌

[@RomeInside]

I enjoyed filming this video A LOT and I think you could tell haha
Sure for the mention! You've always been supportive! :D

[@LostEndsStudio]

Family tree is full of Francesco, Giuseppe, and Sebastiano

[@proseandcons7730]

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

[@lultimilyrics]

YAYYY my name 2:17

[@bullymaguire9318]

GIORNO GIOVANNI?!

[@KrisiaVaca]

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!

[@lshin80]

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.

[@philyra2]

Francesco does not surprise me at all. Thank you, Pope and Totti!

[@TheTribeitaly]

in Rome, Totti, i think

[@luuundeen]

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! :)

[@RomeInside]

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! :)

[@laurint1]

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

[@giulianacascarano2682]

i have cousins names Francesca and Alessandra😂😂

[@zola731]

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

[@Giuseppe1299]

And am Italian aswell from UK some of the names are silmer to English like joeself the opesitse name of mine

[@mariacasella979]

I'm 100% Italian,just found your channel!!Ciao

[@Samchocolate11]

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 :))

[@RomeInside]

Federica is quite common in my generation too!
There's also the male version "Federico" :)

[@Samchocolate11]

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 😊

[@RomeInside]

Haha I can imagine!
I don't know if you knew it but Valentina has a male version too: Valentino :)

[@Samchocolate11]

Rome Inside I love all the male equivalents haha :’)

[@FAQIvan91]

Bella comes from Isabella, I don't know if it's more of a Spanish name rather than Italian but meh.

[@tbrough90]

Can you do an update on this list! I love hearing names and meaning

[@hadassastrahl7794]

Love the name Pia, and my favorite is my mothers name Enza Elodia who has not lived in Italy for more than 60 years.

[@RomeInside]

Elodia is such a unique name, I really like how it sounds!
A big hug to your italian mom :)

[@cheyennearchambeault3667]

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

[@DreamsRemorse]

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.

[@Laisper]

My boyfriend is Sicilian, his great grandparents moved here from Messina. His great grandmothers name was Bettina.

[@NemequenePonguta]

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

[@Anna-sv6hk]

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).

[@RomeInside]

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

[@teganelizabeth86]

Alessandro is such a sexy name. :) I love it.

[@materialionline]

Hey

[@TheHardcoregamerbras]

Mi chiamo Giovanni, e questo è un nome molto comune qui in Brasile

[@pompei1968]

Francesco of courses s very Popular in Rome.....the most famous is Totti

[@pompei1968]

@Alexandra Richard hum??????

[@hannamirgo1041]

What about name Iria? I know girl with such name in Italia

[@lovelyisabelle2028]

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) 😊👍🏼

[@ciri151]

Lol Chiara sounds exactly like cucumber in Arabic

[@chiaragiacon]

oof 😂😂

[@anime-tm6dh]

I’m from Colombia and Rosario is a very common female name in South America and Spain

[@nikilamar5147]

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?

[@marcobozzini9253]

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.

[@RomeInside]

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! :)

[@birdman9265]

American's of Italian descent often name their daughters some form of Giovanna, Gia, Gianna. I have never heard it in Italy though

[@pippocannelunghe1411]

My aunt's name is Giovanna. Giovanna and Gianna are used here in Italy. Never heard of Gia.

[@ilyatermini1022]

Tutti i figli dei miei amici / colleghi /parenti si chiamano matteo, iacopo , giacomo, martina, sofia e valentina

[@SarahraeLivingLife]

Is elenora one?

[@daraG17]

One of my little loves is Matteo! 💙

[@thegamerowl1700]

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

[@snow_leopard3620]

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)

[@DexterBachman]

My grandfather from Palazzo Adriano named his American children Benedetto, Tomaso, Giovanni, Anna, Pasquale, Parma, Ignacio, Josephine, Virginia and Antonio

[@RomeInside]

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

[@DexterBachman]

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.

[@mai0033]

Martina is so pretty.
I love Alice

[@fabianpatrizio2865]

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 :)

[@TheRomanTribune]

What about Giovanni and Guiseppe?

[@alexysq2660]

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!!

[@justinrrizzo]

What about Contessa/Contessina for a girl? Are those used at all? We were thinking of Alessandra.

[@RomeInside]

Never heard of those, might be really old-fashioned names :)
Alessandra is used even today!

[@justinrrizzo]

@@RomeInside Yeah we thought so. We went with Alessandra Luna.

[@robertpetrusz5711]

I liked the video! How about the names: Elise, Elizabeth, Elaine, and Caroline?

[@RomeInside]

Thanks! :)
We have some italian equivalents for those:
Elisa (my name); Elisabetta; for Elaine I don't think we have a translation; Carolina.

[@elisa6262]

Elaine... Maybe "Elena"?

[@Neldot]

@@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).

[@abbdabb6219]

I have Pepino, Dominic, Carmella, Rosa, Rose Marie, Joseph, Frank......some Americanized

[@xiiv.emilia]

Ayyy, my name is Emilia😁❤

[@emilian7052]

Same

[@clarissaschneider2902]

My papa was Colgero. Immigration changed it to Charles when he came to the U.S.

[@pippocannelunghe1411]

You mean Calogero? But the real question is why the immigration changed his name?

[@slimmalandrino6387]

My family men are all named Carmine / Leonardo / Cosimo / Giuseppe / Domenico /Salvatore / Antonio / Guido.
The women are Carmela / Rosa / Maria/ Concetta.

[@RomeInside]

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 :)

[@lovelyisabelle2028]

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

[@iolandab.5223]

I was named after my great grandmother, iolanda. Is that an old name in italian?

[@ballaesmeralda]

yes is old but i know one Iolanda

[@FAQIvan91]

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.

[@seankelly4552]

My Great Grandfather was Celestino

[@Chulpansilu]

Wow

[@vanessaaguilar6119]

Rosario is a male name here in the u.s and mexico as well.

[@arianaraquel1958]

Yo conozco puras Rosarios mujeres

[@clare5one]

What no Maria? Felicia?

[@lucarasti8539]

Wat about luca

[@martinaandreozzi9337]

I’m Italian and my names on there martina ❤️🇮🇹

[@robertalamm3946]

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...

[@ballaesmeralda]

Virginia is a very old name...Michele is pretty common. Roberta is used most in male version Roberto

[@stratosferica2968]

I'm Italian and Roberta is common on 60's generation..

[@aloysiusjosepheshun3527]

Wow, I don't know if you'll see this, but I hope you do. First of all, thank you soo much. And secondly, I was wondering if Italians name kids just by what the parent chooses or is there more to it. See, I'm a catholic and was named after a Saint on the day I was born, and with a little research I noticed it might be the same there but I'm not sure how well that holds up especially in modern day Italy, and if it doesn't since how long has it been archaic?! I hope you see this, and thanks again.😍

[@bellawilliams2554]

My name is bella and I'm Australian

[@raizxpz4444]

[@bbykhyla]

Where I love in the US I know about

[@RomeInside]

Lovely name!

[@ariannagorbet2239]

5:57 That is literally my name. Except it’s pronounced Air-e-anna

[@MrsMrhoward]

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.

[@RomeInside]

Actually Filippa (not Philipa) is very rare, we usually have Filippo (equivalent for Philip) 🙂

[@xofiori]

My name is Fiorella, is that still used? Lol

[@itsmeandrea138]

It's an Italian name for female but not used anymore 🤷‍♂️🙄

[@patriziafais6649]

Ava potrebbe Essere da Avalda

[@RomeInside]

Vero, ma è così vecchio e poco usato che non capisco come sia arrivato all'estero sinceramente haha

[@elisa6262]

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"...

[@pompei1968]

And Greece is a Latin word ...what's your point

[@salvolondon]

Elisa true m andros means man, androgen so the male hormones . All that start with andr means male basically .

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

[@shahbazhussainanalyst5807]
