The List of Aliases and Soprannomi in my Abruzzo Ancestry

ACLeave a comment

A few years ago I listed all of the surnames I have found to date in my ancestry. I believe the aliases and soprannomi of Abruzzo should have their own entry on my blog. Perhaps there are others out there that have come across these same aliases and soprannomi in their research.

An alias is used to indicate that a named person is also known or more familiar under another specified name. When I have come across an alias, it is indicated at the end of their surname in the records. For instance – Biase D’Angelo alias Il Nibbio.

A soprannome is used to indicate one branch of a family from another branch. For instance- Angela Emmanuela Sacchetti Sopranome Muffitti. See how I spelled soprannome there. With one “n.” That is because that is how I found it spelled specifically for my Sacchetti branch from Castelli.

Aliases and soprannomi aren’t exclusive to males or females. I have seen them for both!

Below is my list so far. When I find more I will add them here.

Sacchetti Sopranome Muffitti – Penne

Sacchetti Sopranome Muffitti – Castelli

D’Angelo alias Zagliocco – Penne

D’Angelo alias Il Nibbio – Penne

Desiati alias Cacciatore – Penne

Moncialone alias Minco – Penne

Di Pentima alias Corbellone – Pianella

Please note that nibbio means kite, the bird. Cacciatore means hunter. I have no idea what the other words mean or why they acquired the aliases. Coincidentally, for all the years I have spent looking at the records of Farindola, I have never seen any aliases or soprannomi!

Do you have some input or have you come across these in your search? Please email me – cinziarosagenealogy@comcast.net, because WordPress does not always alert me when I receive a reply on my blog.
