Milano

Meaning of Milano

Milano is an Italian masculine name rooted in the historic city of Milan, originally known in Latin as Mediolanum, “in the midst of the plain.” Its clear, three-syllable pronunciation (mee-LAH-noh) evokes Italy’s legacy of art, fashion and commerce while offering a concise sound suited to modern tastes. In the United States, Milano first entered the Social Security Administration’s top-1,000 list in the early 2000s and has maintained a stable presence in the high 800s—30 boys received the name in 2024—underscoring its modest yet consistent rise. Journalistic commentators highlight its blend of classical geography and contemporary style, making Milano an appealing choice for parents drawn to European heritage without sacrificing a streamlined, distinctive identity.
