Assisi is Italian in Origin.
Assisi is a modern unisex given name taken from the Italian place name Assisi, the Umbrian hill town famed as the home of St. Francis and St. Clare. The toponym comes via Latin Asisium, likely of pre-Latin (Umbrian/Etruscan) origin and of uncertain meaning; as a personal name it carries the sense “from Assisi.” While long used in hagiographic bynames such as Francesco d’Assisi (“Francis of Assisi”), it only entered given-name use in the late 20th century, chiefly in English-speaking countries with Catholic or artistic associations.
Usage remains rare but recognizable; a high-profile bearer is Assisi Lola Jackson (b. 1992), granddaughter of Mick Jagger. Variant spellings include Asisi and Assissi; short forms such as Sisi/Sissi or Assi occur. Related devotional names include Francis/Frances and Chiara/Clare. The name evokes peace, humility, and nature through its strong link to Franciscan heritage.
Assisi is far from common. In all, it turns up just 24 times, across 9 countries.
