    I have an Italian-American friend and his surname is Saladino. Do you know which region of Sicily this surname is from?

    It was a medieval name. It doesn't imply an Arab origin. And in some cases, It could derive from Sala.

    "Come da Serra è venuto Serràino, così da Sala si è potuto originare Salaìno, Saladino. Un conferma ci viene dal pittore allievo di Leonardo, Andrea Salaìno ( 1480-1524), il cui nome rappresenta appunto l'esito originario di Saladino." (Giuseppe Pensabene, Cognomi e toponimi in Calabria: nuove chiavi di lettura con grammatica per i passaggi dalle lingue classiche a quelle romanze, 1987, p. 145.)

    West.

    1. Trapani
    2. Agrigento
    3. Palermo

    As mentioned, likely no connection to Salah ad-Din, as his Sultanate came in the 1200s, around the same time the last Muslims were deported from Sicily by King Frederick.

    Saladino is generally taken to be of Arabic root but it doesn't necessarily imply Arab ancestry.

    Saladin himself was a Kurd anyway.
