I decided that most of my characters will be of Italian decent. So it looks like I will be changing a few character names and surnames to Italian names. So I’m looking for Italian names (for both boys and girls) and I’m also needing Italian surnames.
I have a couple of characters in my story that are wealthy/well-to-do and I also have a couple of characters that are bad news and affiliated with some bad people. So I need Italian surnames that sound wealthy and some that sound like bad news/trouble.
Does anyone know of any Italian names and surnames that they would like to share?

Looking For Italian Names And Surnames For My Story?
Posted on November 2, 2012.
Salvatore…( first name).
Iordache gallardo.
Sopranos should be a good source.
Jimmy is most commonly used.

When you change names in a story as much as you do, it would likely help to have a few baby naming sites (there are also last name sites) as favorites. Then you have more names than you know what to do with. Besides, you can choose names that don’t have to be “ethnic.” Think Quentin Tarantino and Marlon Brando.
I answered a question just a few days ago that wanted Italian names so this was easy!:
Italian surnames:
Abbate – priest
Conti – Count
Dinapoli – from Naples
Boveri – bull, ox
Russo – red-haired, ruddy
Lombardi – from Lombardy
Italian:
Female:
Camelia – an evergreen tree
Caprice – fanciful
Carlotta – Italian form of Charlotte, which means free, strong
Eleonora – light
Guilia – Italian form of Julia, which means youth

Orazia – keeper of time
Teodora – gift of God
Zola – piece of earth
Male:
Amadeo – Italian form of Amadeus, which means love of God, loved by God etc
Bonaventure – good luck
Carmine – purplish, blood red
Cola/Nicolas – Italian form of Nicholas, which means victory of the people

Otello – Italian form of Othello, which means prosperous, and is from Shakespeare
Rafaele/Raphael – God has healed
Sal – short for Salvatore, which means rescuer, deliverer, saviour
