Meaning of Allegra

Allegra radiates pure Italian sunshine, like a vivacious melody drifting through a sunlit piazza. Drawn from the word “allegro,” meaning “lively” or “cheerful,” it carries echoes of heart-fluttering joy and lends a skip to every step. If life were a song, Allegra would be the catchy chorus that lifts every verse. Pronounced ah-LEH-gra in Italian and uh-LEG-ruh in English, it dances off cobblestones and bounces through playgrounds with equal ease. Hovering around the 900th spot in US baby-name rankings, its under-the-radar status only adds to the thrill, offering a secret badge of distinction. The name feels like sparkling prosecco at a family gathering—effervescent, warm, and delightfully bold—making Allegra a magnetic choice for parents craving a touch of Mediterranean flair and a lifetime of bright adventures.
