Italian Names that Start With R

Rolando, along with brother name Orlando, are among the most attractive and appealing of Latinate names. It has been in the US Top 1000 every year since 1946.

This name taken from one of the legendary founders of Rome suddenly feels more possible for a baby in the English-speaking world, with the rise of many Rome-related names, from Roman to Romy to Romilly and Romaine.

Unique choice, with a pleasant antique feel.

Roreto is a handsome Italian place-name that is reminiscent of and might be shortened to the Irish Rory.

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