ArchivesRe: Origin of Fonti
in reply to a message by Reena
Fonti
Italian: variant (plural) of Fonte.
Fonte
Portuguese and Italian: topographic name for someone who lived near a spring or well, from Latin fons, genitive fontis, ‘spring’, ‘well’, or a habitational name from a place named with this word.
It has a Latin base so variations probably exist in all the Romance languages.
