Recco, an intriguing and distinctive given name, is of Italian origin. It derives from the city of Recco in Liguria, Italy, suggesting a connection to place names rather than being derived from other namesakes like Rebecca or Richard. The name has gained popularity globally over time, perhaps due to its unique sound and association with the scenic Italian Riviera.
The name Recco seems to have had a variable popularity with peaks in the late 70s and early 80s, before declining slightly towards the end of the decade.
