I know but I meant "either Arbëreshë or Slavic", not only Arbëreshë. In Sicily, just as in many other parts of Italy, there are a lot of surnames of Slavic origin too (from North to South of Italy), plus also a lot of Albanian surnames often have an old Slavic origin: there's actually a number of such surnames in Southern Italy, I mean Arbëreshë surnames deriving from a Slavic root.
That's why I took either an Arbëreshë or a Slavic origin into account, even though in this particular case - Scimeca - I guess it is more likely Slavic.
