Help[Opinions] Italian word name: Agrifoglio (Holly)
Hi !!!
In Italy word-names are really unusual, except for Margherita, Perla, Stella, Leone, Rosa an Few others...
This time I'd like to talk about: agrifoglio.
This name that could seem complex is pronounced a-gree-FOH-llo. The 'glio' part is pronounced like the Spanish 'll'. Many people in Italy pronounce that part simply -lyo as well.
And this name means ... holly!
Yes, that's the Italian for holly but is not used as given name at all. Nobody in Italy is named Agrifoglio.
What a pity! I personally love Holly and its meaning. I admit that Agrifoglio is more complex than it but I'm surprised that a so common name in the English-speaking world has not the same usage in my own language.
WDYTO Agrifoglio?
WDYTO Holly?
If you are not an English-speaker, is the word for 'holly' used as given name in your country?
