Italianism presents the complete list of 100 italian names most popular, for boys and girls.
Italy is, without a doubt, the country of Maria and Giuseppe – the two most popular baptismal names.
Interestingly, Maria and José (Portuguese version of Giuseppe) are the most popular names in Brazil too.
The data are from the Istat, Italy's official research institute, and based on 2014, but remains a reference as the birth rate in Italy remains very low.
Law 74/2025 is being challenged in the Court of Justice of the European Union. For thousands of descendants, the next step depends on understanding how the new rule has affected each case.
Your case may still have a legal outcome.
