ArchivesRe: Surname Ponisi
in reply to a message by Sean Foglai
Forgot to mention, that it is likely pre-Latin, but evolved through Latin and Italian ...just an educated guess.

In Australia there are over 20 people and Families ( including mine) with this surname including me!
This came about due to mass imigration from Europe during the late 50's and 60's. They arrived by ship that sailed to Sydney Australia
there may be more but they like their privacy.

In Ellis Island (www.ellisisland.org) it appears as italian. But apparently in Italy this surname doesn't exist anylonger.
In the Mormon Site (www.familysearch.com) it appears as British.
In my opinon it sounds sicilian but indications are contradictory. not clear.
