Nero is an Italian name for boys with Latin and Roman origins. Carrying the hearty definitions of “vigorous,” “strong,” and “black,” Nero is warm like a rich cup of coffee. Nero was originally a Roman cognomen given to someone of impeccable strength. As an Italian surname meaning “black,” Nero once implied a family with dark features. The famous Emperor Nero of the Roman Empire has deterred many from choosing this appellation. However, there’s no denying Nero’s smooth grace that outshines any namesake.
