About Italian names

Italian names inherit the melody of the language itself — nearly every one ends in a vowel, which gives them their warmth and lilt. Most descend from Latin and the saints' calendar, with a long custom of naming children after grandparents. Names like Luca, Matteo, Isabella, and Gianna carry that lived-in, family-table quality, romantic without trying to be.

Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
