ArchivesRe: Does anyone know the origin & meaning of Travolta ?
in reply to a message by Travolta
Probably the surname Travolta is Sicilian. But in Sicily apparently this surname doesn't exist anymore.
No traces on Italian Pagine Bianche (www.paginebianche.it).
A passenger is recorded among the persons arriving in New York in 1904
(see www.ellisisland.org)it's Salvatore TRAVOLTA 25 years old, but there are no indications about his nationality or his native city or village.
Salvatore his a sicilian first name of course and it is the first name of Trvolta's father too.
It is almost sure that the Travolta's origin is in Sicily: It is written on his biography.
So for the moment the origin of surname Travolta to me is a mystery:
