Origin and meaning of Carmine
Carmine is the Italian masculine name linked to Mount Carmel (from the Hebrew Karmel, 'garden of God') and to devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel; some also read in it an echo of the Latin carmen, 'song, poetry.' A distinctly southern name, it is beloved in Campania and Naples, where it is extremely common, while staying rare elsewhere. It is closely related to Carmelo. It joins strong religious roots to a warm, unmistakably Neapolitan popular identity.
