ArchivesRe: Roatsey-Rootsey-Rucci?
in reply to a message by Obie
RUCCI, together with RUCCIO, RUCCIA, RUCCIONE, RUCCELLO,
could be an hypochoristic of first names like PETRUCCIO, CASTRUCCIO,
PIERUCCIO (a diminutive of Peter). However this surname is spread in Southern Italy: especially By BARI, Apulia region, By ROME, the regions of ABRUZZO and MOLISE and by NAPLES, Campania region.
Reading Google i had the impression that RUCCI and RUCCIO are mor popular in USA than in Italy.
This surname has not been studied too much yet.
