The story of Concetta
Italian and Spanish Catholic naming built whole families of women's names out of Marian titles: Concetta and Concepción for the Conception, Assunta for the Assumption, Dolores for the Sorrows, Mercedes for the Mercies. Concetta was among the commonest in southern Italy, and Italian emigration brought it to America in large numbers from the 1890s. It peaked in American records around 1920.
Meaning
conception
From the Italian concetta, 'conceived', from the Latin concipere. The reference is to the Immaculate Conception, the doctrine that Mary was conceived free of original sin, whose feast falls on 8 December. The name is a title reduced to its distinctive word, not a description of anyone.
