Help[Surname] Elusive italian surnames...
Good english, better Spanish and ridiculous but a li'l of Italian stops me from getting these etymologies;
Rolla (Might be akin to Rollo, thus it would be "Famous wolf")
Daelle (Might be akin to Van Daele, thus to Van Dalen, thus to Dahl and meaning Dale or Valley)
Tanzi (is related to Lactans, or Lactanus, a god who made crops prosper, and specifically promoted the growth of young corn. It sounds to me to be a cognate with "to lactate" or, if in English the word doesn't exist, to Spanish "lactar" which means "to suck breast-milk")
Chiappori (might be akin to Chiappo)
Rigacci
Repetto
Tubino (Might it be an italianization of a jewish surname meaning "tu bi shevat"? "Fifteen day of arbour-month?)
2nd edit; Cevana (another Italian surname, or maybe non-italian, but I doubt so)
1st; EDIT: (Yes I'm back and must add this;
I've asked about the Tubino surname thousands of times before, one of the answers I got went along these lines;
It is a very local surname in Genoa and nearby. The origin is not clear. And does this surname come from Sicily?
I cant say if it comes from Sicily or not... But... If anyone knows how could this easen finding its etymology tell me and explain the consequent probable meanings... Probable meaning are enough for me, with an appropiate rankign in how probable they are as matching meaning...
I also found a message saying "Could you please email me? Use the "contact information" link at the bottom of the page. If you could use the subject "surnames" that would be helpful. You don't need to say anything in the email (except your name so I know who is who), but I will email you back shortly. Thanks!" Dated 2:56:37 PM of the 27th of June of 2005... I think I missed it, I'm not sure but many reasons made me stop coming here and that's probable so... Any update 'bout that?)
