An uncommon Italian pick — distinctive and rare.
A 15th- and 16th-century Italian artist, full name Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475–1564).
Michelangelo is a boy's baby name of Italian origin, a compound of Michele (Michael, Hebrew, 'who is like God?') and Angelo (Greek/Latin, 'angel, messenger of God'). The name is inseparable from Michelangelo Buonarroti, who painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling and sculpted the David — arguably the greatest artist in Western history. A name of incomparable creative legacy.
Michelangelo climbed 1676 spots in the last 20 years — from #4211 to #2535.
