Re: Origin of the surname Porpino?
Surname Porpino still exist in Italy. But now italian Porpino could be about 50 or 60 people in the whole of Italy. They are 16 on the Italian White Pages. This could have derived from Porpora, another Southern surname, a little bit more common now in Naples. Usually, I have read this, american authorities preferred to change a surname in another one that still existed in USA. But for me it is difficult to give an answer because i don't know well this surname.REGARDSGiacomo Ganza / Italy
