Originating from the Italian peninsula, the name Italia, meaning 'calm' or 'of Italy', is a unique and elegant choice for a girl. It's derived from the Latin word 'Italia', which itself comes from the Oscan word 'Víteliú', possibly relating to the bull (vitulus in Latin) symbol of King Italos. The name Italia has been associated with the country since ancient times, but it was not commonly used as a given name until relatively recently. Nowadays, it's often chosen by parents looking for a distinctive and meaningful name that reflects their cultural heritage or love for Italy.
The name Itali experienced a notable rise in popularity between the years 2019 and 2023, with a significant increase from 17 births in both 2019 and 2020 to a peak of 18 births in 2023. The total number of births over this period is 181, with an average of approximately 7 births per year.
