Here is a list of Italian names that start with Z. The page includes Italian names for boys and girls from different eras, as well as last names.

The list is divided into several sections. The modern names are baby names and other names popular in the 2000s, while the traditional names are those common among people born during the Renaissance. Some names that have remained popular over the years appear on both lists.

The names in this list come from multiple sources: modern Italian baby names popular in the 2000s, the 1,000 most common Italian surnames today, and historical names from the Italian Renaissance of the 1400s. Interestingly, despite the 500-year gap, sometimes names appear in both the modern and Renaissance eras, although that’s not the case with Z names.

All of the names also appear in my Random Italian Name Generator.

As the modern names come from official statistics, not all of them are “ethnically” Italian. However, I decided to keep the statistics as they are instead of filtering out names with different backgrounds.
