Italian

Compiled by Moyra Turkington

The naming traditions of Italy historically have been that the first male is named after his paternal grandfather, the second after his maternal grandfather, the first female after her paternal grandmother and the second after her maternal grandmother. In some places, Italian children celebrate their onomastico, or name day, as well as their birthday.
