Giuliana Rancic, born Giuliana DePandi, is an accomplished Italian-born American entertainment reporter and television personality.
Best known for her role as an anchor on E! News, the premier news program of the E! network, she has firmly established herself in the entertainment industry.
Giuliana’s roots trace back to Naples, Campania, Italy, where she was born on August 17, 1974, to Anna and Eduardo De Pandi. Eduardo, a skilled tailor and entrepreneur, decided to move the family to the United States when Giuliana was just seven years old.
Giuliana is a feminine name with Italian and Latin origins, meaning “youthful.” It’s a beautiful choice for celebrating a baby’s fresh start in life, symbolizing their potential and countless opportunities.
