An Upper Norman one, more likely.

Norman ?? This surname is really not common in france. Perhaps corse
An italian can help ?

But if you want to make the surname Italian, I couldn't care less.

Does anyone know what cities or areas these two last names are from, and their meaning:
Debaldo and Vettraino

Vettraino is a surname spread in Lazio (province of Frosinone) next to the border with Campania and Molise.



Debaldo is currently a nonexistent surname in Italy, but is is present in USA.

i just want a simple answer of an ITALIAN (yes or no)on an italian topic. I dont care to make this surname italian.
Ok so if i follow your logic, Moutinho is surname of Aisne:

With the big differences that:

1. -ot is a perfect ending for an Oil-speaking territory, while -inho is not.
2. The area is much more spread.
3. There were 90 Linot births between 1891 and 1915, in times previous to heavy immigration. But there were 0 Moutinho births.


Anyway, you left your message clear. You don't deserve any good answers, after all.

I found a few Linot in Piedmont, so it could possibly be of french origin, but sure its isn't italian.

Frosinone is in Latium, but most people there are ethnic Campanians.



BTW there aren't many difference between Latins and Campanians. Most Latins are of Campanian ancestry and vice-versa.

No, is very piemonteis, specifically Arpitàn. I know one girl with this surname.

And cuissinat ? italian surname ?

[Peyrol]

No, never heard...i know some piedmonteis/valadois (Occitane) surnames which ends in -at or -inat (Martinat, etc)...but never heard about Cuissinat.
