Roberto
Boy name · 22 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Roberto: 22 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 1995.
Roberto is the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese form of Robert, which itself comes from the Old Germanic name Hrodebert, meaning “bright fame.” One of the most famous bearers is the Italian opera tenor Roberto Alagna, renowned for his powerful performances. The name also belongs to Roberto Baggio, the celebrated Italian footballer and 1993 World Player of the Year. The city of San Roberto in southern Italy shares the name’s root, though it was directly named after Saint Robert. A charming variant is the Scottish short form Bertie, which feels equally at home on a highland lad. Roberto has been a familiar, warmly international choice in Scotland since the 1970s, often given in honour of a grandparent or a love of Italian culture.
