    Interesting! But I know this ancestor of mine was Calabrese, perhaps he was a descendant of Norther migrants.

    Here geographical diffusion of my surname in Italy and US:



    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).

    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 Dauphinèe.
    They were all valdesians if i remember well.

    Yes, and taking a look at your map the main part of Calabria where "Martini" appears is in Guardia Piedmontese. So they were from Northern Piedmont?
