There’s just something about European baby names that seem so classic, elegant, and unique. From Scandinavian baby names, French baby names, and even Irish baby names, you’re bound to find something that speaks to your style.
On the European front, it’s Italian baby names that have been rising in popularity over the years. And the major perk? You don’t have to go all the way to the Amalfi Coast or hail from the streets of Rome to use them! Old school Italian names like Giovanna, Francesco, and Lorenzo are popping up as Mini monikers even in today’s day and age.
In fact, according to Nameberry, the Italian name Luna—meaning “moon”—is currently the number one female name on the 2020 baby name charts. Other popular Italian baby names on the list include Isabella, Mia, and Roman.
