Armentano

Armentano is an Italian surname. It is a regional surname, derived from a place name. Specifically, it often originates from the region of Calabria, Italy, particularly areas near Cosenza. The name is likely derived from a toponym, potentially a village or area characterized by the presence of armenti (herds of livestock). The suffix "-ano" indicates origin or belonging. Thus, Armentano roughly translates to "of or from the place of herds."

Individuals with the surname Armentano can be found throughout Italy and in countries with significant Italian diaspora communities, such as the United States, Canada, and Argentina. Due to migration patterns, the name’s concentration no longer solely resides in Calabria.

The surname, like many others, has variant spellings, though these are less common. The prevalence of the name has remained relatively stable over time, although detailed statistical information on its distribution requires access to genealogical databases and demographic records.
