    A derivative of Latin "vitellus" same as the Italian "vitello", Sardinian "bitellu"
    "Bitellu" This is funny (or not)... a guy with this last name could be mocked in France because one pronounces "dick" by "bite" (in a popular way).

    But, thanks for these informations

    we have many surnames about animals in Sardinia, but "Bitellu" is missing , or at least I've never met someone
