Catanoso

Catanoso is an Italian surname. It is believed to be of Southern Italian origin, likely from Calabria. The name may be derived from a place name or a topographical feature. One possible origin is from the word "catasta," referring to a woodpile or a stack of wood, suggesting a connection to someone who worked with wood or lived near a woodpile. Another possibility is a connection to the dialectal term "catafuso," possibly relating to a geographical feature or type of agricultural land. As a surname, Catanoso is carried by families primarily located in Italy and among Italian diaspora communities around the world.
