Help[Surname] Re: DeShannon, DiCaprio, & Milano.....What are their origins & meanings ?
in reply to a message by DeShannon
At least for surnames come from the name of the island of Capri: Caprio, Capri, Di Capri, Di Caprio.
Milano is of course from the capital-city of Lombardy:
also Milani and Milan, a venetian surname coming from venetian dialects.Milani is sometimes a jewish surname as well.
But in lombard dialects milano is Milàn or Milà too.
Di Caprio could mean that a family had its origins in Capri.
In fact the family of the american actor Leonardo Di Caprio comes from a village near Caserta, I think.
