in reply to a message by Nancy Olmi
Olmi comes from the name of a tree, the "elm". this surname derives from names of places. two italian villages, one near BERGAMO and the other near ASTI have this name.
Gigli could suggest that the surname came from Tuscaby, mainly Folrence. According to Ellis Island site some Italians that arrived in New york were from Chiari, near BRESCIA. This surname is typical of the Centre and Northern Italy. Also from Liguria Region, near Genoa especially.
