    My mom's surname is typical lombard and it's of germanic origin (from the longobard word for ''military camp''); my surname is pan-galloromance with variants in France (Both ''Oil'' and ''Oc'') and Catalonia.

    Here geographical diffusion of my surname in Italy and US:

    I don't it its very common and I think it is region specific. There are theories about its origins some are more likely than others.

    most surnames in my family are slovjak and rusyn. they are found in both ethnic groups and its really hard to be certain with their origins, as surnames in both languages tend to share common traits (although rusyns borrowed heavily from slovjaks)
