ArchivesRe: Reda surname
in reply to a message by Menke
Reda is a sicilian or most probably a calabrian surname.
Some sicilian surnames are of arabic orgin like for instance:
MULE' or RAIS. Sicily has been dominated by Arabians for many centuries that's why sicilian dialects has been influenced by Arabic.
In Sicily the Etna volcano is also called "Mongibeddu" a word half latin and half arabic (gebel? mountain in Arabic).
But Reda is also a spanish surname, and some sicilian and calbrian surnames come from spanish too.
