Stallone

Actor Sylvester Stallone's iconic surname is beginning to catch the attention of parents having sons, likely owing to the rising in last-names-as-first-names, and because of its cool, stately feel yet cowboy edge. It comes from the Italian word for "stallion", and likely emerged as either an occupational name for someone who bred horses or as a nickname for someone who resembled a stallion.

While it is connected to the iconic acting family, footballer Stallone Limbombe bears it as a given name, while content creator Summer Wilson Fox used it for her son in 2025.

Pronounced stuh-LOH-nee.

As of October 2026, Stallone ranked #10533 in US births in 2025 SSA.
