Behind the Name – Italian Surname Database http://www.italiansurname.com Connecting Families One Name at a Time Sun, 29 Nov 2015 11:31:05 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 104593846 Behind the Name http://www.italiansurname.com/behind-the-name/ http://www.italiansurname.com/behind-the-name/#respond Mon, 07 Jun 2010 10:26:06 +0000 http://www.italiansurname.com/?p=115

Behind the Name is a wonderful site which lists several hundred surnames and their meanings.  It also may tell your where the surname is derived from. 
The beauty of this site is that it not only concentrates on Italian surnames but on surnames from several different parts of the world such as Germany, Spain, Greece and Ireland plus much more.  If you don’t find your surname in one area I would encourage you spend the time exploring other areas of the site to see if your surname originated elsewhere.  You may also want to check out the section entitled The Most Common Surnames  where it lists the top 100 surnames for many countries.  Again, don’t forget to use variation in spelling.
