¿so the "v" is part of the "caruas"? mmm... well the "u" in "caruas" can become a v... but aren't suffixes meaningful? I knew a Piaggio... mmm... Could the surname have meaning in the "Pi" alone? And the surname Baggio have meaning in the B alone? I checked this site and it traces Baggio to Baggi, Milan, Italy. "Aggio" must mean something, all suffixes have a meaning...
