213 Charming Italian Unisex Names For Your Baby
Gems reflecting the country’s art, culture, fashion, and more.
Italian names can be identified as masculine or feminine depending on the last letter. However, Italian unisex names don't always follow the same gender-specific patterns as masculine or feminine names. Italian names usually end with a vowel, with the common vowels for boy names being o, e, and i. A few examples of masculine names are Adamo, Durante, and Manfredi. In contrast, feminine names usually end with a or e, with a few examples being Bianca, Dafne, and Maria. Italian unisex names, such as Isola, Kiaro, Mariani, and Novelle, are not easily categorized by their endings alone and can be used for either gender depending on context and preference.
These names are often drawn from nature, place names, and saints and are pretty popular among Italians worldwide. The name Michele, for instance, was quite popular in the US and remained in the Top 100 position from the late 1950s to the late 1970s (1).
