Meaning and history

Concetta is an Italian feminine name meaning “conceived,” from the same Latin root as conception. It developed especially through the Catholic title Maria Santissima della Concezione, referring to the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. The name therefore has a specifically devotional history rather than merely describing pregnancy. Notable bearers include American actor Concetta Tomei and Italian-Australian politician Concetta Fierravanti-Wells. Concepción is the corresponding Spanish devotional name.
