300+ Italian Girl Names

Spelling twist makes it more striking.

The original Russian name is Natalia, the French say Natalie or Noel or Noelle, and the Italians use this gender-neutral name. While Natale and its international cousins is traditionally given to babies born at Christmas time, it's certainly not reserved for that.

An over-elaborate Italian name associated with fashion designer Simonetta Colonna, a key figure in the emergence of Italian haute couture. Stop at SIMONE or SIMONA.

A creative alternative to the dated Robin, and also a reference to the famed Della Robbia family of Florentine Renaissance artists.

The good news: the Po is Italy's longest river, flowing across the north. The bad news: Po is a manic, scooter-riding red Teletubby.

Another name for the Mona Lisa, who was married to a Florentine businessman surnamed Giocondo; others say the title referred to her mysterious smile.

Elegant Italian translation.
