Acquanetta is an uncommon given name of Italian origin, derived from the words 'acqua' meaning water and 'netta' meaning clean or pure. It is often used as a feminine name but can also be given to boys. The name first gained notable recognition in the United States during the 20th century when Acquanetta was used by an American actress born to Italian immigrants. However, its usage has remained relatively rare, making it a distinctive choice for those seeking a unique name with a rich cultural heritage.
Acquanetta was quite popular as a baby girl name from 1944 to 1954, peaking with 28 births in 1952. After that period, its usage significantly declined and remained low until the late 1960s when it saw some sporadic spikes. The total number of babies named Acquanetta over this period is 254.
