Federigo is Italian in Origin.
Federigo is an Italian given name, a literary variant of Federico, itself the Romance form of Germanic Frederick (Old High German Fridurih), from fridu "peace" + rihhi "ruler, power," hence "peaceful ruler." It flourished in Tuscan and courtly usage from the late Middle Ages through the Renaissance, appearing in Boccaccio's Decameron (the tale of Federigo degli Alberighi) and borne by figures such as the cardinal and statesman Federigo Fregoso (1480-1541) and the novelist Federigo Tozzi (1883-1920). Today it reads as cultivated and slightly archaic, while the modern standard in Italy is Federico.
International cognates include English Frederick, German Friedrich, Dutch/Scandinavian Frederik/Fredrik, French Frédéric, Spanish/Italian Federico, Portuguese Frederico, Polish Fryderyk, Czech Bedrich, and Hungarian Frigyes. Italian short forms and nicknames: Fede, Rigo, Rico, and Fredo; the feminine is Federica (also Frederica). Usage is uncommon in contemporary Italy but appreciated for its literary resonance and classic, pan-European pedigree.
