Staccato is an Italian musical term that translates to "detached" or "separate." As a given name, it has been used sparingly but notably throughout history. It's often chosen for its unique sound and association with music, art, or culture. The name Staccato can be considered unisex, though it tends to lean more towards being used as a male name in Western cultures. It doesn't follow traditional naming trends, making it a distinctive choice for parents looking for something unusual yet meaningful.
Staccato had 16 babies named after it between 1959 and 1960, with a spike of 10 births in the latter year.
