Baldassare is an Italian masculine given name, derived from the Germanic elements 'bald' meaning 'bold' and 'asar' meaning 'noble'. It was popularized by Baldassare Castiglione, an Italian diplomat, writer, and courtier during the Italian Renaissance. The name has not been widely used outside Italy and is considered somewhat old-fashioned.
"In 1924, there were five babies named Baldassare."
