Italian Baby Names

Italian is a Romance language spoken in Italy, the Vatican City, and other parts of the world. It is considered one of the closest to Latin in terms of vocabulary.

Boy names often end in -o or -e, while girl names often end in -a and -e; most have boy/girl diminutives with the -ino/-ina, -etto/-etta, -ello/-ella, or -uccio/-uccia suffixes.
