Mostly Czech, some German (in both, original and Czechized versions) and Polish
I found this map of my surname in Europe.
It definitely doesn't exist in Catalunya as i wrote before.

Yep, it's probably one of the most common names among the descendants of Italian migrants here (and they were all from the Northern half of Italy).
All the names in my family are French, and most trace back as far as I known to Latin etymons (except for some oddballs like the Bretons names or those that ultimately come from very remote Germanic words, which is very common for patronyms).
Maybe this?

My surname is from Veneto, but the etymology come from an ancient iranic word
Yeah, so probabily was from Guardia Piemontese.
There weren't only occitan ''bourels'' valadois (from Cuneo, southern Piemont)...there were even people from the ''other side'' of Cotian Alpes, so occitans from Val Roja and Dauphinče.
They were all valdesians if i remember well.
