Annuziata is Italian in Origin.

Annuziata is an Italian feminine given name, a phonetic variant of Annunziata, ultimately from Latin annuntiare/annuntiatio, “to announce/announcement.” It denotes “the (one) announced” or “of the Annunciation,” referencing the angel Gabriel’s message to Mary; thus it is a Marian devotional name with a traditional feast day of March 25. Usage centers in southern Italy, where churches and confraternities titled all’Annunziata reinforced the name’s popularity, and it frequently appears as the second element in compounds such as Maria Annunziata.

Variants include Annunziata (standard), Annunciata, Nunziata, and the diminutives Nunzia, Nunziatina, and Nuccia; the related masculine is Nunzio. Cross-language cognates are Spanish Anunciación, Portuguese Anunciação, Catalan Anunciació, and French Annonciade. Notable bearers include Princess Maria Annunciata of the Two Sicilies (1843–1871). The name peaked in the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, including in Italian diaspora communities in the Americas, and is now rare, chosen to honor heritage or Marian devotion.
