Italian names are more scattered, more evenly divided. Not one of them ranks in the top five hundred American names. Italian names are easy to recognize. This is because they really do have a lot in common. We appear to love diminutives and pet names.
Many Italian names are descriptive.
As a result we find names like Rosso, Rossi, Rossetto or Rossini for the ruddy or red-haired person. Moreno, Moretti, or Morello or for one who is dark. Bianco, lo Bianco or Bianchi was light complected. Pardo had gray hair, Argento had silver hair, Riccio or Rizzo curly hair, Caruso close cut hair, Cesario considerable body hair, and Luna had no hair at all. Mancini, Mangini, or Mancuso was left handed.
