Palindromic Italian number

OTTO

This four-letter word is both a common male name in Italy and the numerical equivalent of "eight" in its language.

This clue combines two hints: "palindromic" means the word reads the same backward, like "madam," and "Italian number" refers to a numeral in Italian. "Otto" is Italian for "eight," and spelled backward, it’s still "otto," making it a perfect fit. The trick is recognizing both the language switch and the palindrome structure.
