People & Society Values

Origin: From Latin popularitas (popularity, favor of the people).

Usage Note

Popolarità is feminine and, like all Italian nouns ending in an accented vowel, is invariable in the plural: la popolarità, le popolarità. The written accent signals final stress. It differs from fama (fame/reputation) in that popolarità specifically stresses being widely liked, not merely known.

Examples

"La sua popolarità è cresciuta rapidamente."

Natural Translation

His popularity grew rapidly.
