We made a selection of ten names that mean love.

Afrodite

Agape of Agate

Of Greek or Byzantine origin, it means good, loving (“Agathē” from “agathós”: good).

Alceste

Name both masculine and feminine, it derives from the Greek Alké and means "sacrifice to conjugal love". Alcestis was the name of the wife of King Admetus of Thessaly who sacrificed herself for the love of her husband. The name day is celebrated on November 1st.

Beloved or loved

Amato and Amata, formerly Latin noble surnames, were transformed into proper names today celebrated on February 20 in memory of Saint Amate of Assisi, nephew of Saint Clare, and on September 30 of Saint Amato, bishop of Nusco who lived in the XNUMXth century . The names come from the Latin amandus, which means "one who is to be loved".

Love

It comes from the Latin love, with an obvious meaning. The name was imposed on a boy and a girl (both male and female) who were eagerly awaited. It spread discreetly in the Middle Ages and is little used today. The name day is celebrated on 22 July.

Amos

From the Latin arc. amos (amoris) = love, but also from the Hebrew = robust man. A-mau may have meant "God carried you on his arm". The name day falls on March 31st.

Astrid

The firmness of the sound reveals the Saxon origin of this name which is among the few to have no equivalent Del Paeseno. As-frid, this is the etymological origin: loved by the gods. It is a particularly popular name in the Netherlands and in the Scandinavian peninsula. The name day in fact falls on November 27 and honors a Swedish nun who has been proclaimed blessed.

Valentina or Valentino
