Vespa Origin and Meaning

The name Vespa is a girl's name.

Vespa is an uncommon feminine name with Italian origins. The name literally means 'wasp' in Italian and Latin, deriving from the Latin word 'vespa.' While relatively rare as a personal name, Vespa gained global recognition as the brand name for the iconic Italian scooters manufactured by Piaggio since 1946. As a girl's name, Vespa carries connotations of sleekness, agility, and a certain distinctive buzz—characteristics associated with the insect. The name might appeal to parents seeking something truly unique with a hint of Italian flair and modern cultural associations. Despite its pleasant sound and interesting etymology, Vespa remains very rare in most naming regions.
