Re: Orlando, Pherigo, Simontacchi...What do these surnames mean ?
in reply to a message by Sean Foglai
Mr Foglai is right.
Ferigo is from a venetian surname Ferigo that is from
Federigo, a variant of the italian FEDERICO.
Orlando and Orlandi derive fron the first name ORLANDO.
Simontacchi is probably composed by Simon (first name SIMONE)
and TACCHI a first name of germanic orgin (see surnames TACCHI,
TACCHINI, TACCONI).
