Giacomina is a unique and elegant Italian given name, derived from the Latin 'Iacobus', meaning 'supplanter'. It is the feminine form of Giacomino, which in turn is a diminutive of Giacomo. In Italy, Giacomina is often used as a formal or familiar address for women named after Saint James the Greater, one of Jesus Christ's twelve apostles. The name is not particularly common but offers a distinctive and charming option for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful moniker.
"Giacomina saw a peak in popularity with exactly five newborns sharing her name in 1915."
