Rossi
Boy name · 8 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Rossi: 8 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2010.
The name Rossi began as an Italian surname, derived from the plural of *rosso* ("red"), originally a nickname for someone with red hair or a ruddy complexion. As a given name, it is most famously associated with motorcycle legend Valentino Rossi, the nine-time Grand Prix world champion whose surname became a first name in his honour. The name also connects to the Ross Sea in Antarctica, named after the British explorer Sir James Clark Ross, though his surname shares a different root (the Scottish Gaelic *ros*, meaning "promontory"). Rossi is a rare but stylish choice in Scotland, occasionally given to baby girls as well as boys, reflecting a broader trend of using Italian surnames as first names.
