For other uses, see Annunziata (disambiguation).

Annunziata is the Italian word for the Annunciation. It is generally understood to refer to the young Mary, mother of Jesus, receiving the word of the Angel Gabriel that she is to bear the Christ child. It is a common theme for reverence in Roman Catholicism. In Catholic families where all the children are girls it is sometimes given to a new child in the hope that the next born will be a boy.^{[citation needed]}
