The following two tables contain the given names from all records identified as women in the Online Catasto of 1427. That source is a compilation of information from a census of Florence.
Note that the database clips names after 10 characters, so it is possible that some non-identical names have been merged. Where I have noticed incomplete names (two names), I have provided probable completions in italics
Names Sorted by Frequency
The first number is the count of instances of each name. The second number
is the percentage of the total. The third number is the total percentage
of all names to that point in the table. No effort has been made to group
variants or diminutives of the same name; each name form is listed
separately.
The five most common names were shared by about 25% of the women in the sample. The 17 most common names were shared by just over half of the women. 230 of the 255 names (90.2%) were borne by less than 1% of the women listed.
