signorina
Young Italian woman
Signorina is the Italian equivalent of Miss—a title for an unmarried woman or young woman.
Like its counterparts in other languages, it's becoming less common as cultures move away from marking women's marital status: The signorina will see you now.
The plural is signorine.
