Arnone

Arnone is an Italian surname. It is believed to be of patronymic origin, derived from a personal name. The name "Arnone" is considered a variant of "Arno", which is a short form of Germanic personal names beginning with the element "Arn-" meaning "eagle." The suffix "-one" in Italian surnames often indicates a large or robust individual, or can be an augmentative suffix.

Therefore, "Arnone" likely originated as a descriptor for a descendant or relative of someone named Arno, possibly signifying a strong or eagle-like family member.

The surname is found primarily in southern Italy, particularly in regions such as Sicily and Calabria. As with many surnames, variations in spelling may exist, such as Arnò.

Genealogical research is often necessary to trace specific family lineages connected to the Arnone surname and to determine the precise circumstances of its adoption by a particular family line.
