Reply to: ISO info regarding surname Izzo by Christopher Izzo
The surname Izzo comes from an old medieval masculin first name ALBIZZO.
It has its origins in two provinces near NAPLES (NAPOLI): BENEVENTO an CASERTA. People who went to America left from villages By BENEVENTO and CASERTA.
You can see the name of the villages in Ellis Island pages:
www.ellisisland.org
or in the italian white pages:
www.paginebianche.it you must to tape BN (benevento) CE (Caserta) and then comune

I hope this infos are useful in spite they are late.


Bye

Giacomo
