You don’t have to be “Born in the USA” to be named Amerigo, but if you are, then that’s bonus points! With Italian roots, this boy's name means “America” and “home-ruler.” Stemming from the Germanic name Amalric, Amerigo is a combination of the words “work” and “rule or power.” Inspired by its meaning and the air of independence, the United States adopted its name and made it their own. Now it’s your baby’s turn to make their own mark on this old and historic name.
