Cicerone is an Italian and Romanian masculine given name with roots in Latin. It stems from Italian cicerone, “a knowledgeable guide,” coined in reference to the famed Roman orator Marcus Tullius Cicero (Latin Cicerō), whose surname derives from cicer, “chickpea.” Through this association, the name conveys guidance, eloquence, and erudition; English adopted cicerone in the 18th century for a tour guide to antiquities.

As a personal name, Cicerone is rare in Italy and Anglophone countries but has seen occasional use in Romania in the 19th–20th centuries (e.g., poet Cicerone Theodorescu), lending it a scholarly, old-world aura. Related forms include Cicero (Latin/English/Portuguese/Spanish), Cicerón (Spanish), Cicéron (French), and Ciceron (Romanian) for the Roman name, while cicérone/cicerone remains a common noun in French and Italian.
