This surname comes from the word "botte" or "Bot" in dialect. The "bottaio" in Italy was a sort of specialized joiner who made "cask" for wine. So Bottini is a variant of Bottai (cask maker) and this is an occupational surname.
The majority of BOTTINI emigrants came from LOMBARDY: especially from a municipality called LONATE POZZOLO, 40 km North of MILANO (Milan). Some other from VARESE LIGURE near GENOVA (Genoa) and also from municipalities not far from ROME: ANAGNI and FERENTINO (near Frosinone).
